out and celebrate her wedding anniversary.
2 Right, I’d better stop now. I have to go and pick up the children from school.
3 I don’t think you’ve been to Edinburgh before. I’ve drawn you a map showing
you how to get to our house from the end of the motorway.
4 I was in Spain last summer. I learned a great deal of Spanish. I learned a few
words of Catalan, too.
5 I think I’ll probably come over in the car. Then I won’t have to catch the last
train home.
6 I’d love to be able to put you up when you come down to Oxford. Unfortunately,
I’ve already arranged for my brother to stay with us for those two days.
