A: Morning! It’s going to be a busy day today. We’ve got about ten people
coming to brunch. Have we got any bread and have we got enough plates
for everyone?
B: Yes, of course we have. The plates are on the top shelf of the cupboard
below the pans, and there’s bread in the bread bin.
A: Where’s the bread bin? It’s disappeared!
B: It’s behind the bottle of beer at the back.
A: What’s it doing there?
B: I put it there last night.
A: Oh, no! That’s them at the door. They’re early!
B: Don’t panic! I’ll prepare some bread pudding and put it in the oven.

A: What’s the matter?

A: Oh, dear. You’ll have to go to the dentist.
B: Oh, no. I can’t do that.
A: Why not?
B: You know I hate dentists.
A: But if you’ve got a toothache, you’ll have to go.
B: It’ll go off in a few hours.
