1. Woman: Last Saturday ___________ a long day! We were

___________ to my grandparents’ 50th anniversary party, and we had
to ___________ a plane at 7 a.m. We ___________ to get there early to
___________ time with my family. But during the night we
___________ power, so our alarm clock never ___________ us up. We
___________ two hours late, missed our flight, and ___________ to
catch the next plane. We even ___________ into our clothes for the
party at the airport to save time! It ___________ a close call, but we
___________ just when everyone was ___________ down to dinner.
I’m so glad we ___________ it, but what a stressful trip!

2. Man: You wouldn’t ___________ it from her size, but our little dog
Sheba is really adventurous. She loves to ___________ in our backyard
and ___________ birds, but when we ___________ home, she is
always ___________ for us by the door. But yesterday when my
daughter and I ___________home, we couldn’t ___________ Sheba
anywhere. My poor daughter ___________ so upset she couldn’t
___________ crying! Someone must’ve ___________ the back gate
open, and she must’ve ___________. Luckily, my neighbor
___________ her running down the street and was able to
___________ her up. Ten minutes after we ___________ home, she
___________ on the door with Sheba in her arms. What a relief!
