    Session 1: “back on track” should mean: “we are updated and alligned”

    Session 2: “Could you speak more slowly please?”

    Session 3: “Sorry, I didn’t catch what you have said”

    Session 4: “Sorry, does ‘possible’ mean either ‘feasible’ or that could happen depending on something?”

    Session 5: I would rephrase the word I don’t understand with a question mark

    Session 6: “I disagree with Mark’s behaviour. He is a bad guy with Emma. If I were in her shoes, I would leave him”

    Session 7: “You have said 37%, haven’t you?”

    Session 8: “I’ll pick you up first. No, I changed my mind: I’ll pick her up and then I’ll be at your door around 9.00”

    Nice work @Manuela.Lelli

    There are a few tweaks to make:

    no.3 What you’ve written isn’t grammatically wrong. However, we would tend to just use the past simple in this situation: Sorry, I didn’t catch what you said

    no.4 you are missing an ‘it’ – can you try and figure out where it should go?

    no.6 perfect!

    no.7 Similar to no.3. It sounds more natural to use the pst simple. Can you rewrite using past simple?

    Thanks! ☺

      Sorry, I didn’t catch what you said

      You said 37%, did you?

      Sorry, does “possible” mean either “feasible” or that it could happen depending on something?

        Thanks Manuela.

        On the question tag, if the first part is positive, the second part should be negative: You said 37%, didn’t you?
