Today, I will be your school teacher and we will work on completing an email together. The email is about festival tickets and making plans for a journey. Let's carefully read the text and fill in the missing verbs with the correct forms provided.
The email starts with the sentence: "I'm still waiting for the festival tickets we booked! If they (1) _____ by tomorrow, I (2) _____ the box office." In this sentence, the verb "arrive" is missing. Since the subject is "tickets," we need to use the third person plural form of the verb "arrive," which is "arrive." Therefore, the correct answer for the first gap is "arrive."
Now, let's move on to the next sentence: "The journey should be quite easy. If we (3) _____ the ten o’clock train next Friday, we (4) _____ there by noon." The missing verbs here are "catch" and "get." Since the subject is "we" and the verb "catch" is about boarding a train, we need to use the first person plural form, which is "catch." Therefore, the correct verb for the third gap is "catch." Similarly, since the subject is "we" and we want to express that we will arrive at our destination, we use the first person plural form of the verb "get," which is "get." Therefore, the correct verb for the fourth gap is "get."
Let's move on to the next sentence: "We can wait until later to put the tents up if it (5) ____ when we arrive." The verb "rain" is missing here. Since the subject is "it," we need to use the third person singular form of the verb "rain," which is "rains." Therefore, the correct answer for the fifth gap is "rains."
The next sentence is: "I (6) _____ the food and drinks if you _____ me some money for them." Here, the verbs "bring" and "give" are missing. Since the subject is "I" and we want to express that we will bring the food and drinks, we need to use the first person singular form of the verb "bring," which is "bring." Therefore, the correct verb for the sixth gap is "bring." Additionally, we need to use the second person singular form of the verb "give," which is "give," because we are talking about the person we are addressing directly. Therefore, the correct verb for the seventh gap is "give."
Lastly, the email closes with: "Oh, and if you (8) _____ Carl later, (9) _____ him to bring his willies - it's bound to rain! See you next Friday." The verbs "phone" and "remind" are missing here. Since the subject is "you" and we want to express that you will call Carl later, we need to use the second person singular form of the verb "phone," which is "phone." Therefore, the correct verb for the eighth gap is "phone." Lastly, we use the third person singular form of the verb "remind," which is "remind," because we are talking about giving a reminder to Carl. Therefore, the correct verb for the ninth gap is "remind."
So, the completed email should look like this:
"I'm still waiting for the festival tickets we booked! If they arrive by tomorrow, I will go to the box office. The journey should be quite easy. If we catch the ten o'clock train next Friday, we will get there by noon. We can wait until later to put the tents up if it rains when we arrive. I will bring the food and drinks if you give me some money for them. Oh, and if you phone Carl later, remind him to bring his willies - it's bound to rain! See you next Friday."
I hope this step-by-step explanation helps you understand how to fill in the missing verbs in the email. If you have any more questions or need further clarification, please feel free to ask.
