EXERCISE 7
Fill the gaps in the story with missing words:
Kudjo and Luna couldn’t continue ***** in Luna’s house. They didn’t even want to imagine what would have happened if the parents had seen them with the saw. When Luna’s parents were *****, Luna crept to the boxroom, found the tool box and carried it to the front door, where Kudjo had been ***** for her impatiently.
It was midnight and if they had started sawing they would have woken up all the neighbours, so they decided to continue it in the morning, said ***** to each other and went to sleep. Kudjo put the box under his ***** and fell fast asleep as soon as he closed his *****.
He had never slept so sound as a top. He wouldn’t have ***** anything even if somebody had started screaming ***** next to him.
The next day he hardly woke up and when he looked at the ***** he was surprised to see that he had been sleeping for 12 *****!
When he took the box he noticed that it had changed the ***** from grey to almost *****. He got puzzled even more when he didn’t see any scratches which they had made while ***** yesterday. He jumped off the bed and ***** to tell Luna about everything.
EXERCISE 8
Find and correct 9 mistakes in the sentences:
1 Luna was looking forward to Kudjo’s coming as she has great news- the parents had finally agreed to go to the country to look for the pup and take care of it.
2 The car didn’t start because Luna’s dad forgot to switch off the lights and the battery went flat. If he remembered to do it, they wouldn’t have had to take a taxi.
3 The taxi was very slow and they came to the country in the late evening. If they had driven their car, they would come much earlier.
4 As soon as they arrived, Kudjo and Luna ran around the house but didn’t see the pup anywhere. It was very dark as the sun was setting. If it weren’t so dark, the pup would have been seen in a tree.
5 Frustrated, the dogs got into the house and ran upstairs to the attic. If they would come a minute later, it would have been too late.
6 The poor little pup was hanging upside down in the corner and a fat neighbour’s cat tried to catch it.
7 The cat would have caught and eaten the bat if Kudjo wouldn’t have barked so loudly that the cat vanished out of sight immediately.
8 Luna took the pup and they went downstairs, where Luna’s parents waited for them.
