“My kids are sick and they can’t go to
school. There’s no one else to look after
them, so I’ve got to stay at home.”
^^^^^
“My car’s broken down on the side of
the road and the tow truck is taking
forever.”
^^^^^
“I’ve got to renew my passport. The appointment is for
11am, but it could take a while.”
^^^^^
“My neighbour’s water pipes have broken and it’s flooded
my living room. I’ve got to wait for the plumber to get here.”
^^^^^
“I’ve got food poisoning. I think it was that food we ate at
the restaurant we went to for the staff dinner.”
^^^^^
“My cousin has just gone into labour and I’m the only
person who lives close enough to get her to the hospital in
time!”
^^^^^
“I’ve locked my keys in the car. I’ve called the locksmith, but
they said that they’re really busy and it’s going to be a while
before they get here.”
^^^^^
I’ve caught this stomach virus. The doctor says it’s just a 24-
hour one, so I should be in tomorrow.”
^^^^^
“I’ve got terrible backache and I can’t get up off the sofa. The
doctor’s coming round later today. I’ll let you know how I get
on.”
^^^^^
“I’ve got an awful migraine and I can’t stand being in the
light. Hopefully it won’t last too long.”
^^^^^
“I was a witness to a hit-and-run accident and I’ve got to
go to the police station to give a statement.”
^^^^^
“My accountant has really messed up my tax return form
and I’m being audited. I need to spend the day sorting it
out.”
