Plural of letters and numbers

letters and numbers.

e.g. U2 is one of the most popular bands of the 90’s.

The word ‘pronunciation’ has one a, two o’s and three n’s.

But: Commas are one of the most frequently used punctuation

marks in English.

my summer holidays in England and work there

as an au–pair. I (to arrive)

look after two small

children of 2 and 4 years old. While their mother

father (to work)

I (to do) the

and (to be) sorry to

leave after 5 weeks.

While I (to travel) back

to London, I (to think)

it would be a good idea to visit my cousin,

who (to live) in Chelsea with his wife and children. I (to leave)

the train station and the sun (to shine) .

While I (to queue) for the bus, a man (to bump)

to pay, I (to realize) my purse wasn’t in my handbag anymore.

The man with the beautiful hat (to be) a thief: he (not to bump)

into me by accident: he (to take) the

opportunity to steal my purse!

Now it seems silly, but at that moment I (to start) to cry: not only was

all my money gone but also my passport and my driver’s license. A nice woman on the bus

(to watch) me from

a distance and (to pay)

for my ticket. The next

morning my cousin (to take)

me to

the Belgian embassy. There they

(to give)

me a temporary passport, so that

I (can)

leave the country the next morning.

So much for my holiday!
