What do you think happened to make these people do/ say what they did?
- We had to send for a plumber. Maybe a pipe was leaking.
- I had to call out a local mechanic.
- Our neighbours let us use their washing machine.
- Don’t worry, the handle often does that – I’ll fix it back on.
- Luckily, that was all it was; the skin was broken a bit, but there was no blood.
- What type of batteries does it take? I’ll get some for you.
- I don’t know where you’ve put them. Try the bedside table.
- I left it in the oven too long. It’s all black on the top now!
- I lost all my work – I know I should have saved it more often!
