Hi Teacher.
Thanks for quick reply.
Do the first two questions mean that a lady comes in the dining room unexpectedly and good breakfast smells induces her to have breakfast, but suddenly she remembers that she has already had breakfast then she leaves the table without having it?

By the way although I'm a registered member I couldn't login from questions number one and two and ask my question!

Hiwa

Hi,
Yes, that's exactly what the first two sentences imply. In the long run the lady didn't have breakfast!
Enjoy the tests! Smile
