flexible. I would like a job working outdoors, too.

DANIEL: Well, sometimes I get a little extra money by mowing
lawns and
weeding peoples gardens at weekends.

a good start. The work is hard, however, and we need fit people. It takes time
to get used to it. Is your health good?

jogging every

all right with me. Can I get any time off in the week, you said the hours were
flexible?
NUTHALL: Yes, you can. But you should let us know at least
two days ahead of time so we can find someone to replace you. Do you have any
more questions?
DANIEL: No, that's
all, thanks.
NUTHALL: Well, thank you for coming in, Mr Rangel. We will
get in touch with you soon. Good-bye.
The verb “To Get”, could have many uses in English language;
it’s confusing for us to have a verb that could have many meanings that could
describe its action, some of those meanings are:
• Take
Something or To come into position of something (The most common meaning)
• Become or
changing in other state.
• Arrive or
achieve a destination.
• Take Back or Hand something to someone
• To cross
through a physical or mental experience
• Contact a
sickness or illness
We must be careful because the use of verb “To Get”, could
be also used as an idiomatic expression , that are sentences with an special
meaning than must not be taken as a literal meaning, because it could present
confusion. Some examples could be:
• Get to use –
Is to habituate to a place or something new.
• To get along
with – When you have a good relationship with someone.
• To get in
touch with – Means to have a good communication with.
This is one of few rules in English language with no
exceptions: “After a preposition if we use a verb, is impossible to use an
infinitive or any other verb form, so it always be a gerund”
For example:
How + About (Preposition) + Going (Gerund: verb ended in
-ing) to movies to night?
This means that after a preposition the verb conjugation
goes with “–ing” ending.
Other Examples:
• · I should eat + before (Preposition) +
going (Gerund) to school.
• · She is good + at (Preposition) +
acting and singing. (Both verbs in Gerund)

B.BRIEF READING ON THE TOPIC
Supermarkets are now an integral part of the community in 21st century living. Every community has at least one supermarket. These range in size from huge buildings with 15 aisles or more to smaller ones with three or four aisles.
The size of the stands is also variable. In bigger supermarkets these can have five to eight shelves while others have only two or three shelves. A shopper can find many, many things in a supermarket from a book of matches to a refrigerator.
But not everybody is enchanted with supermarkets. They remember the times when life was less hectic and people went to the local grocers, butchers or greengrocers and met and chatted with the neighbors as well as the storekeeper herself or himself. But it is unlikely that the days of the local shopkeeper will return. Todays supermarket is very convenient for busy people who are always in a hurry.
C. DEFINITION AND BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The modal verb can as we have seen is used to express ability.
Note that in the following sentences, a simple form of the verb is always used after can, regardless of the subject:
You can find frozen foods in Aisle 3
He can find cheese and yogurts in the Dairy section in aisle 7
Customers can pay with a coupon
People can get a wide variety of products in todays supermarkets
You can shop at supermarkets until very late at night, usually 11:00 p.m.
To make a question (?) from an affirmative sentence (+) using a wh- word (where, what, who, when, etc) do the following:
1.Add the wh-word that you want to use.
