A Foreign Affair \"Danny, are you ready yet?\" asked Erica impatiently. \"If you don't hurry, we're going to be late.\" Danny had just finished getting dressed. He was wearing a suit, just as he'd promised. He had even agreed to wear a tie. Danny, a scientist, had never enjoyed formal parties, but now that his wife had chosen a career in politics, he knew he'd have to attend lots of them. \"You look wonderful,\" said Erica quickly tying Danny's tie. \"Now if you'd only smile...\" \"Yes, I know,\" said Danny. \"Smile and be polite.\" \"Yes, and please don't insult anyone this time, or spill your drink on them.\" \"Hey, that wasn't my fault. The host's dog was chasing me, and I tripped. I can't help it if I spilled my punch on that woman's dress.\" \"That woman was the wife of the foreign minister! I'm just grateful she had a sense of humor about it. My career could have been ruined.\" \"Do you think that annoying reporter from 'Chat Magazine' will show up again? Last time, he kept asking personal questions and making bad jokes. If I run into him, I can't promise what I'll say or do.\" Erica and Danny arrived at the party. They entered the room and were greeted by several acquaintances. Danny walked around the room. He heard some people gossiping, and others arguing about the government and the next elections. He saw the reporter, but carefully avoided him. 44

Everyone was shaking hands with each other and patting each other on the backs, pretending to be friendly. \"I have nothing in common with these people,\" Danny thought, as he tried to hold a conversation with a wealthy businessman. \"Oh Danny, darling!\" called Erica, who was talking to a tall, blonde woman. \"Come say hello to Ms. Medina.\" Danny looked up. \"Uh oh,\" he thought. Ms. Medina was the wife of the foreign minister. How embarrassing! But Danny put on his best smile, and walked over. \"It's lovely to see you again,\" he told Ms. Medina, and put out his hand. Ms. Medina smiled. \"Maybe you should put that down first,\" she said, motioning to the glass in Danny's hand. Danny blushed. \"Yes,\" he said. \"I think that's a good idea.\" Photo Credit: by Mentatdgt from Pexels Exercise: Read A Foreign Affair, and then complete the sentences.

Affirmative I, she, he, it, you, we, they (full form) worked. (+) form I, she, he, it, you, we, they had (short form) worked. Negative (-) I, she, he, it, you, we, they ’d worked? form I, she, he, it, you, we, they (full form) worked? Affirmative had not question (+?) (short form) form hadn’t Negative question (-?)

Past perfect simple: uses Time up to then The past perfect refers to time up to a point in the past (time up to then), just as the present perfect refers to something that happened in the time up to the moment of speaking (time up to now): I’d seen all of Elvis Presley’s movies by the time I was 20! Compare I’d been to five countries in Europe by Past perfect: ‘time up to then’ 2001. (2001). I’ve been to five countries in Europe. Present perfect: ‘time up to now.’ Reported clauses We commonly use the past perfect in reported clauses where the reporting verb (underlined) is in the past: “Mr. Hammond drove through a red light.” The policeman said Mr. Hammond had driven through a red light. No one told me that the shop had closed. I phoned Katie and she said the kids had had a day off school so she’d taken them ice skating. We also use the past perfect when the reporting verb is a verb of perception and is in the past tense: My Dad was really angry because he heard I hadn’t come home until 3 am! I saw she’d bought the DVD so I asked if I could borrow it. The doctor felt my mother had got worse since last week. 49

Talking about changed states We often use the past perfect to refer to situations which have changed. In speaking, had is often stressed: A: Are you going anywhere today? B: I had planned to go to the beach but look at the rain! (had is stressed; the meaning is ‘I have now changed my mind’) I’m very happy working as an engineer but I had wanted to be an actor when I was younger. The past perfect in conditional clauses We must use the past perfect when we imagine a different past in a clause with if: I would have helped to paint the house if you’d asked me. (You didn’t ask me.) Sarah couldn’t come with us to the cinema. She would have loved it if she had been there. (She wasn’t there.) Warning: We don’t use the past perfect in the main clause of a conditional sentence. It is only used in the conditional clause: [conditional clause] [main clause] If we had seen you walking, we would have stopped to give you a lift. Not: If we had seen you walking, we had stopped … (Source: Cambridge Dictionary; https://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/past- perfect-simple-i-had-worked?q=Past+perfect+simple%3A+form) 50

At about one in the morning, while I was still working on my history paper, the phone rang.\" \"Who was calling you at that hour?\" Marcello asked. \"It was Alison. She said she had gotten stuck. Her car had broken down in the middle of the highway,\" Barry laughed. \"She told me that she had tried to push it to the side of the road. She sounded really worried. Being the nice guy that I am, I told her to take it easy, and that I would be right there.\" \"So, what did you do?\" \"Well, she thought the problem was the brakes,\" Barry explained, \"so I took some replacement parts. However, knowing Alison the way I do, I took two quarts of oil and a gallon of gas, too.\" \"She sure is lucky that her best friend is a mechanic,\" Marcello said. \"Yeah, but it would have been better for me if she had gotten stuck after I had written the history assignment,\" Barry replied. \"I didn't get home until four in the morning!

Grammar Focus: Past Perfect – Review Past perfect simple or past perfect continuous? Past perfect simple = I had worked Past perfect continuous = I had been working We use the past perfect simple with action verbs to emphasise the completion of an event. We use the past perfect continuous to show that an event or action in the past was still continuing. Compare Past perfect simple emphasizes the The builders had put up the completion of the action (the scaffolding scaffolding around the house. is up). The builders had been putting up the Past perfect continuous emphasizes a scaffolding when the roof fell in. continuing or ongoing action. We use the past perfect simple to refer to the completion of an activity and the past perfect continuous to focus on the activity and duration of the activity. Compare Past perfect simple emphasizes the I’d waited an hour for the bus. completion of the activity (the waiting is over). I’d been waiting an hour for the bus. Past perfect continuous focuses on the duration of the activity. 62

The past perfect simple suggests something more permanent than the past perfect continuous, which can imply that something is temporary. Compare She’d always lived with her parents. We don’t know how long. She’d been living with her parents. Suggests a temporary situation. Some verbs are not used very often in the continuous form. We don’t use the continuous form with some verbs of mental process (know, like, understand, believe) and verbs of the senses (hear, smell, taste): We’d known for a long time that the company was going to close. Not: We’d been knowing … We’d tasted the milk and had decided it was bad, so we threw it away. Not: We’d been tasting the milk … We don’t use the continuous form with actions that are completed at a single point in time (start, stop): Had they started the game on time? Not: Had they been starting the game on time? (Source: Cambridge Dictionary; https://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/past- perfect-simple-or-past-perfect-continuous) 63

Grammar Focus: Reported Speech – Statements and Questions Reported speech Reported speech is how we represent the speech of other people or what we ourselves say. There are two main types of reported speech: direct speech and indirect speech. Direct speech repeats the exact words the person used, or how we remember their words: Barbara said, “I didn’t realise it was midnight.” In indirect speech, the original speaker’s words are changed. Barbara said she hadn’t realised it was midnight. In this example, I becomes she and the verb tense reflects the fact that time has passed since the words were spoken: didn’t realise becomes hadn’t realised. Indirect speech focuses more on the content of what someone said rather than their exact words: “I’m sorry,” said Mark. (direct) Mark apologised. (indirect: report of a speech act) In a similar way, we can report what people wrote or thought: ‘I will love you forever,’ he wrote, and then posted the note through Alice’s door. (direct report of what someone wrote) He wrote that he would love her forever, and then posted the note through Alice’s door. (indirect report of what someone wrote) I need a new direction in life, she thought. (direct report of someone’s thoughts) She thought that she needed a new direction in life. (indirect report of someone’s thoughts) 66

Reported speech: indirect speech Indirect speech focuses more on the content of what someone said rather than their exact words. In indirect speech, the structure of the reported clause depends on whether the speaker is reporting a statement, a question or a command. direct indirect reported clause statement ‘I’m tired,’ I said. I told them (that) I that-clause was tired. ‘Are you ready?’ the The nurse asked Joel If-clause/whether- nurse asked Joel. if/whether he was clause question ready. ‘Who are you?’ she She asked me who I wh-clause asked. was command ‘Leave at once!’ they They ordered us to to-infinitive clause ordered. leave at once. Indirect speech: reporting statements Indirect reports of statements consist of a reporting clause and a that-clause. We often omit that, especially in informal situations: The pilot commented that the weather had been extremely bad as the plane came in to land. (The pilot’s words were: ‘The weather was extremely bad as the plane came in to land.’) I told my wife I didn’t want a party on my 50th birthday. (that-clause without that) (or I told my wife that I didn’t want a party on my 50th birthday.) 67

Indirect speech: reporting questions Reporting yes-no questions and alternative questions Indirect reports of yes-no questions and questions with or consist of a reporting clause and a reported clause introduced by if or whether. If is more common than whether. The reported clause is in statement form (subject + verb), not question form: [S] [V] She asked if I was Scottish. (original yes-no question: ‘Are you Scottish?’) [S] [V] The waiter asked whether we wanted a table near the window. (original yes- no question: ‘Do you want a table near the window?’) [S] [V] He asked me if I had come by train or by bus. (original alternative question: ‘Did you come by train or by bus?’) Reporting wh-questions Indirect reports of wh-questions consist of a reporting clause, and a reported clause beginning with a wh-word (who, what, when, where, why, how). We don’t use a question mark: He asked me what I wanted. Not: He asked me what I wanted? The reported clause is in statement form (subject + verb), not question form: [S] [V] She wanted to know who we had invited to the party. Not: … who had we invited … Who, whom and what In indirect questions with who, whom and what, the wh-word may be the subject or the object of the reported clause: I asked them who came to meet them at the airport. (who is the subject of came; original question: ‘Who came to meet you at the airport?’) 68

He wondered what the repairs would cost. (what is the object of cost; original question: ‘What will the repairs cost?’) The reported clause is in statement form (subject + verb), not question form: [S] [V] She asked us what we were doing. (original question: ‘What are you doing?’) Not: She asked us what were we doing? When, where, why and how We also use statement word order (subject + verb) with when, where, why and how: [S] [V] I asked her when it had happened. (original question: ‘When did it happen?’). Not: I asked her when had it happened? [S] [V] I asked her where the bus station was. (original question: ‘Where is the bus station?’) Not: I asked her where was the bus station? [S] [V] The teacher asked them how they wanted to do the activity. (original question: ‘How do you want to do the activity?’) Not: The teacher asked them how did they want to do the activity?

The Singer Cindy loved to sing, but she had never sung in public because she was too embarrassed. Every year her mother encouraged her to sing in the school concert. Cindy wished she could be in the concert, but she always assumed that she wasn't good enough. \"Even if I tried, they wouldn't accept me,\" she thought. But her mother insisted, so Cindy finally agreed to try. On the Monday morning of the trials, Cindy was very nervous. She arrived at the auditorium very early, while it was still deserted. Gradually the students began to arrive. \"Cindy, I didn't know you could sing,\" said her friend Mara. \"Well, I thought I might as well try,\" said Cindy. \"I don't care whether or not I'm accepted.\" \"Well, I do,\" said Mara. \"I intend to be in the concert this year. Mrs. Blake said that I had a very good chance of getting the main part.\" One by one the students climbed onto the stage to sing for the music teacher. Some of them sounded terrible. Cindy listened to all of them until it was her turn. \"Hello, dear,\" said the music teacher. \"You may sing anything you like.\" Cindy sang. Although she was tiny, her voice was deep and full. She sang loudly and powerfully. She forgot about all the other people in the auditorium. When she had finished, the entire room was quiet. Everyone seemed as if under a spell. \"Cindy,\" the music teacher said at last, \"that was beautiful! You are a singer!\" Photo Credit: by Pexels on Pixabay; https://pixabay.com/photos/artist-audience-band-concert- crowd-1838653/ 78

Grammar Focus: Conditionals – Unreal Present unreal conditional Use the present unreal conditional to talk about what you would do in an unreal, or imaginary situation. If A happened, B would happen. For example, “If I were you, I would take the job.” The key word is would; it makes the conditional unreal. Would can only be used in the result clause of the sentence. Here’s an example from American singer Johnny Cash. “If I were a carpenter And you were a lady Would you marry me anyway? Would you have my baby?” To form a present unreal conditional, use a simple past verb in the if clause. In the result clause, use would followed by a simple present verb. Use the verb were for all nouns in the if clause of the sentence. For example, “If she were an animal, she would be a cat.” In informal speech, people might say, “If she was an animal, she would be a cat.” But you should avoid this in formal writing. Present Unreal If clause Result clause If I were you, I would leave. Simple past Would + simple present (Source: VOA Learning English, 2015, Everyday grammar: Introducing conditionals, https://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/conditionals?q=Conditionals) 82

Get Your Money's Worth by Kim Watson When people are considering buying items which they will have for a long time, such as furniture, they want to get their money's worth. This means that: 1) they want to buy something they can afford, and 2) they want to be satisfied with their purchase. However, people often have a problem when buying furniture. While customers look for reasonable prices, they also look for the best quality products, and these two things don't always go together. The reason for this is that they don't always know if something is a bargain or not. Last week, Edith Shaw, a writer for a popular consumer's magazine, gave advice to buyers in her column, \"Customers Come First.\" She recommended that people who wanted to buy furniture that was both affordable and of good quality should go to places that offered bargains all year long. She claimed that stores which offered great sales had most likely raised their prices before putting the items on sale. \"People with limited budgets should consider buying at places like Quality Bargains. Buyers can get brand-new inexpensive furniture there. It comes with a ten-year guarantee, and delivery is free. Buyers pay less and get quality, and that's a bargain.\" Quality Bargains' manager, Tim Wright, says that their furniture is luxurious, the deals are excellent, and they accept a twenty-percent down payment on all purchases. \"If you came to Quality Bargains, your furniture problems would be solved,\" says Mr. Wright. Wherever you go, know that there are places where you can get your money's worth, even if you are short of cash. Photo Credit: by Pixabay on Pexels; https://www.pexels.com/th-th/photo/276534/ 90
