Answer 1

Answer:

S: Hello Kate, How are you?

K: Fine, sorry that I make you wait so long. There was a lot of traffic.

S: Oh yes! I noticed. Take a seat. I've already ordered you a coffee.

K: Thanks! Did you hear the rumor?

S: Apparently Tom was fired. He didn't quit his job.

K: I don't believe that's true. I knew that he wanted to spend the summer in Europe, and he saved enough money to do it.

S: I wish I had enough money to travel too. I spent all my savings on a new car.

K: Yes, that would be nice. At least you have a new car, and you can travel around the country. If I had enough money, I would buy a house on the beach and spend all the weekends there.

S: Now that you've mentioned the beach, I'm planning to go to the beach this weekend, would you like to come?

K: I'm sorry, I have plans.

S: That's alright. We'll leave it for the next month.

K: Cool. We could invite Megan. She loves the beach.

S: of course, and we can also tell Lily, she is such a funny person. There isn't a dull moment with her.

K: You're right, She is always telling jokes and doing silly things, but also she cooks an amazing lasagna. Have you tried her lasagna?

S: No, why have you? Now I'm jealous.

K: She gave it to me as a present for my birthday because the real one got lost in the mail.

S: She has a secret recipe that only the members of her family know.

K: I will try to get the recipe. Maybe her mom will give it to me.

S: I don't think so. It was given to Susan by her grandmother under the promise of not telling the secret ingredient to anyone.

K: I will try to get it anyways.

S: Look at the time!. I have to go. I need to study for an exam.

K: Ok, good luck! See you soon.

Explanation:

The relative clause in the dialogue is: "She has a secret recipe that only the members of her family know." It is a defining relative clause object-related since it is talking about the recipe.

The second conditional with "wish" is: "I wish I had enough money to travel." The second conditional expresses something impossible to happen in the present, but you desire it to happen. The second conditional consists of the subject + wish + past perfect.

The second conditional with "if" is: "If I had enough money, I would buy a house on the beach." In this case, we use if instead of wish, and the sentence has a second part with would. If+ past perfect,+Would+ present.

The passive voice is: "Tom was fired" and "It was given to Susan by her grandmother." In the first case, we omit the person who fired Tom. We didn't use the by phrase.

To turn an active sentence into a passive one: we have to move the direct object to the subject position and add an auxiliary before the verb, which has to be in the past.
