In Room 4, we’ve been learning about the preposition start and adverb start sentence. See if you can spot the different sentence styles in the story below.
“We’ve got the plans for the new building.” said Joel. “We’ve hired a team of workmen to get started on the new block of flats tomorrow.” said Remy. “Yes for god sake, you’ve said that 5 times Remy.” said Jack. “I know I’ve said that 5 times. Goddammit!” replied Remy. The next day at 08:00 a.m in the morning the team of workmen arrived—bang on time— at 08:00 a.m. “Perfect, you guys are right on time.” said Joel, Remy and Jack. As soon as the workmen arrived, they got straight to work.
At 12:00 p.m, they had a quarter of the block of flats done. At 05:00 p.m, one half had been built. At 06:00 p.m, the third quarter of the block of flats was built. At 06:30 p.m, it was time to stop for the day. The next day, the workmen arrived—bang on time—at 08:00 a.m. “Perfect, you guys are right on time again.” said Jack. At 12:00 p.m, the block of flats was done. “Well done guys.” said Joel, Remy and Jack. “Job done!” said one of the workmen. “Yep, job done.” said Remy. “Job done.” said Jack. “Job done.” said Joel.
