Read through the two stories below (which may, or may not be true) and complete them using the correct form of the verb in brackets. Sometimes two forms may be correct, which makes life easier :) Question 1 The bottle of wine Stephanie [x1] (drive) home from one of her business trips in Northern Arizona when she [x2] (see) an elderly Navajo woman who [x3] (walk) by the side of the road. As the trip was a long and quiet one, she [x4] (stop) the car and [x5] (ask) the Navajo woman if she would like a lift. With a silent nod of thanks, the woman got into the car. Continuing the journey Stephanie [x6] (try), without success, to make a bit of small talk with the Navajo woman. She asked her where she [x7] (come) from and where she [x8]. The old woman didn’t reply – she [x9] (look) carefully at everything she saw and [x10] (study) every little detail. Then she noticed a brown bag on the seat next to Mary. ‘What in bag?’ asked the old woman. Stephanie looked down at the brown bag and said, ‘It’s a bottle of wine. I got it for my husband.’ The Navajo woman was silent for another moment or two. Then speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder, she said: ‘Good exchange…..’ Question 2 A few pints of Guinness An American [x1] (hear) that the Irish are good drinkers so, on a business trip to Dublin he walked into a pub and [x2] (find) a crowd of locals who [x3] (drink) Guinness. He shouted to them, 'I hear you Irish really know how to drink. I'll give 500 US dollars to anybody in here who can drink 10 pints of Guinness in 5 minutes.' The room [x4] (be) quiet and no one [x5] (accept) the American’s offer. One man [x6] (get up) and left the bar. Fifteen minutes later, he returned and said to the American, who [x7] (still/drink) his first beer, ‘Is your bet still good?'. The American answered, 'Yes’, and he ordered the barman to line up 10 pints of Guinness. Immediately, the man [x8] (drink) all 10 pints of beer without stopping. The other pub customers cheered and the American sat down in amazement. He [x9] (give) the Irishman the $500 and asked, 'If ya don't mind me askin', where did you go for that 15 minutes?' The Irishman replied, 'Oh....... I [x10] (go) to the pub down the street to see if I could do it first.'
