At the circulation desk or online.

It’s usually quiet on weekends.

The room has a large whiteboard.

I reserved one for next month.

How often does this shuttle run?

It leaves every twenty minutes.

It’s parked behind the building.

I’m not sure who the driver is.

I am worried because I forgot my bus pass.

Show Hide

I’m afraid I can’t stay for the whole workshop.

Could you email me the handouts later?

Don’t worry. We've already seen the most important part.

It’s held in the main auditorium.

I attended the same one last summer.

Show Hide

Wasn’t the conference call scheduled for 3 p.m.?

Yes, but it was moved to 4.

Actually, can I call you back later?

No, I’m not available at that time.

As a matter of fact, the conference center is downtown.

I can’t remember my password either.

The software engineer is not available at that time.

The IT help desk can handle that.

I reset mine last month.

I’d be happy to. Send me the latest draft.

Didn’t I mention it during the lecture?
