Mike, I'm glad you could make it! How are you?

Hi Julie. We’re fine. Have you met my wife Susan?

Hi Suzan, nice to meet you!

Nice to meet you too. Thank you for inviting us!

You’re welcome!

Please, come on in and enjoy the party.

Hi Gus, how are you doing?

This is my wife, Susan.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Susan.

Mike is always talking about you!

Pleased to meet you too.

Look who it is. Hey, Laura... I’ve missed you girl.

I’ve missed you too.

Long time no see! How have you been?

I'm good, and you?

Oh, I’m great too!

Sorry that I'm a little bit late to your party.

Traffic was really bad on my way here.

No problem. You're right on time.

Go in and meet everyone!

Hello everybody. I'm Laura.

Hi Laura! Good to meet you. I’m Gus.

Susan.

And my name is Mike.

Nice to meet you all. How’s it going?

We’re all good! We were just talking about work.

Oh, I used to work with Julie a long time ago.

Do you all work together?

Yes, most of us are co-workers with Julie except for Susan.

Oh really! Susan, what do you do?

Actually, I work at the mall selling watches.

And you? What do you do?

I used to work as a software engineer

but now I'm running my own small business.

How interesting. I'm sure it is very challenging.

Hi John. I'm glad you are here!

Good to see you, Julie.

Was it easy to find my address?

Very easy. I know this neighbourhood well.

Please, come on in and help yourself to snacks and drinks in the kitchen.

Thank you, I can see that your party is rocking!

I just need to go to the toilet first.

Where is your washroom?

Go straight ahead and it will be the first door on the right.

Great, thanks!

Hey guys, all good?

Great party, Julie! It's amazing!

All good, Julie. Thanks!

Definitely!

Have you got any more pretzels?

Key Grammar Structures

• Have you met my wife Susan?

  ➔ Present Perfect Question

  ➔ The Present Perfect is used to ask about experiences. The structure is 'Have/Has + past participle'. Here, it asks if the listener has *ever* met Susan. The focus is on whether the experience has happened at any point in the past, not *when* it happened.

• Mike is always talking about you!

  ➔ Adverb of Frequency ('always')

  ➔ The adverb 'always' indicates that Mike's talking about Laura is a habitual action. It emphasizes the frequency of the action. It's placed before the main verb ('is talking') to highlight this frequency.

• Sorry that I'm a little bit late to your party.

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood (that-clause)

  ➔ The 'that' clause expresses regret or apology. The verb 'be' is used in the subjunctive mood after expressions of regret ('sorry'). 'A little bit' is an intensifier modifying 'late'.

• Traffic was really bad on my way here.

  ➔ Past Simple Tense

  ➔ The Past Simple describes a completed action in the past – the traffic being bad. 'Really' is an adverb of degree intensifying 'bad'. 'On my way here' is a prepositional phrase indicating location and direction.
