be making a big withdrawal from the

Monica wedding

Monica wedding fund don't you we have it

only now we call it the beach house

I can't believe you spent my wedding

fund on the beach house we're sorry

honey but we just assumed if you got

married after you turned 30 you'd pay

for it yourself you bought the beach

house when I was 23 which means you had

seven years of Beach fun and you can't

put a price on that

sweetie I really do feel bad about this

though we started saving again when you

were dating Richard but then that went

to hell so we redid the

kitchen what about what I started dating

Chandler well it was Chandler we didn't

think he'd ever

propose clearly I did not start drinking

enough at the start of the

meal I can't believe it that there is no

money for my wedding we might still have

some money if your father hadn't thought

it was a good idea to sell ice over the

Internet it seemed like such a simple

idea stupid Jack the word is stupid all

at the

wedding how did you know about that we

heard you play all the way from your

apartment were you the ones who called

the

cops that's not really important right

appreciate the gesture we just don't

feel that bag pipes are appropriate for

our wedding why not because we hate them

for you and then decide whatever you

want and I'm not going to tell you what

Key Grammar Structures

• I found a note on my door.

  ➔ Simple Past Tense

  ➔ The verb ""found"" is in the simple past, indicating a completed action in the past.

• I'm engaged, yeah she's been out there for 20 minutes.

  ➔ Present Perfect Continuous ("has been + -ing")

  ➔ The phrase ""has been out there for 20 minutes"" uses the present perfect continuous to stress the duration of an ongoing situation.

• Can I bring her in? No, no, let her stay out there.

  ➔ Modal verb + base verb (can, let)

  ➔ The speaker uses ""can"" to ask permission and ""let"" to give a command; both are followed by a bare infinitive.

• We’ve been planning on doing this once.

  ➔ Present Perfect Continuous with "have been + -ing" + preposition "on"

  ➔ ""We've been planning"" is present perfect continuous; the preposition ""on"" links the verb phrase to the activity "doing this".

• If we had more money, we could afford a bigger wedding.

  ➔ Second Conditional (if + past perfect, would/could + base verb)

  ➔ The clause ""If we had more money"" uses the past perfect to talk about an unreal present situation; ""could afford"" expresses a possible result.

• I don’t want to hear about it anymore.

  ➔ Negative verb + infinitive (want + to + verb)

  ➔ The verb ""want"" is followed by the infinitive ""to hear""; the negative ""don’t"" negates the desire.

• I’m sorry, apparently I’ve opened the door to the past.

  ➔ Present Perfect (have + past participle) with adverb "apparently"

  ➔ ""I’ve opened"" is present perfect, showing an action that has relevance now; ""apparently"" signals the speaker’s inference.

• Let’s try something else; let’s try a look of far‑off wonderment.

  ➔ Imperative + infinitive with “let’s” (suggestion)

  ➔ ""Let’s"" is a contraction of "let us" and functions as a soft imperative, inviting both speaker and listener to act.

• By the powers vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife.

  ➔ Passive voice in legal/formal phrase (powers vested in)

  ➔ ""powers vested in me"" uses a past participle "vested" to form a passive construction, meaning "the authority that has been given to me".
