The answer is drive:

You must not drink and then drive a car. You probably know the slogan Don't drink and drive?

Can we convert it to the IF condition ...
If you want to drive a car then better not to drink.
If you had drink then better not to drive a car.

[Sparrow]

I got ten out of ten but in second attemp.

[Ana Marie]

yes Torsten that's easy if you knew the slogan
about the don'ts of driving. the test is easy though i got 8 out of ten.
But i think it's fair enough, we're just starting... and i enjoyed it very much.

[Sagarika]

why didnt we use 'take' instead of drive??
"you must not drink and then take a car'

[Aleksandra]

I very often come across the expression "Plan to be spontaneous tomorrow". Could you convert it another way, I don't quite understand the meaning.

TIA, Aleksandra.

[Watie]

why didnt we use 'take' instead of drive??
"you must not drink and then take a car'...i litle bit confuse in here..

[Mister Micawber]

'Taking a car' is not necessarily driving it yourself; if you do not drive it, you can be drunk.

Dear Torsten,

I've done my 2.test my score was: 10:10.

Now I am describing to you why I can send my letter in the last minute. Why didn't have a free minute to deal with English?
We invited guests for Saturday lunch.As some of my guests were Jewish we decided that we would make an authentic Jewish lunch. The first was a goose soup with matzoh dumplings.The soup was made from the wings,neck,back, tail-end of the goose and from its giblets.
After there was a Shabbat Cholent. Its ingredients: white beens,pearl barleys,smoking goose leg, chunks of smoking goose breast, and one egg to every person,gloves, red paprika powder, pepper and little salt.You have to prepare the beens and the other ingredients in a tin and you can begin to cook in the oven at least for 10-12 hours.
/Previously the Jews put it in the oven overnight. Why? Because the Jewish religious prescription forbade to the Jews to work on Saturday. So they prepared their Cholent and took it away to the baker's who put it in the oven overnight and they brought home the ready cholent in Saturday. So they could keep their religious prescriptions/
But I come back our lunch. We still baked a milk loaf. And we made a stuffed goose neck.People use only the skin of the neck and stuffs with something; this is varying according to local custom. We stuffed with minced veal,1 egg,a roll soaked in milk, parsley,pepper and salt when it was stuffed we put in the oven and grilled it till it became red-brown.
After lunch the dessert was fruit cake and coffee.
Preparation of this food needs lot of time and effort. We began with the shopping Thursday morning and we were working till Saturday noon.Not only the cooking but you have to make lot of chores.
Briefly: The Lunch was very good.Our guests had a very good time.
But how much Would I have learnt or written a letter? It was impossible. I missed it because I learn every day but now I couldn't help to leave out 3 days.

Best Wishes:
Kati Svaby
