Sebann Nee- Good explanation. Add “about” before my experience.


Fatemeh- Very good explanation. You’re welcome.


Bluesky97- Very good explanation. Delete “after work” it is assumed.


Bora- Good explanation. Delete “to” before home and change to “I treated you unrespectfully.”


You all were right on the target for explanations. Keep up the good work!

Hi ๐ŸŒน


I think janet is saying :


I know someone told you what happened to me at work. When I arrived home after work I was angry so I behaved crazily with you. Sorry if my behavior was irrational!

Hello Mr. Alston. Thank you very much for your new lesson ๐Ÿ™
My answer is:
Janet: I’m sure someone has told you about my experience at work; afterwards, I went home and was very upset and I overreacted to you. Sorry about that

Lesson #16 Explanation


When Bill says, we’re cool; he means that even though Janet thought she wanted to end the relationship, he forgave her.


However, the second part of his statement means that he was curious to know what caused her to be upset with him.

Amira- First part correct, second part not changing of her mind.


Sabann Nee- Correct explanation.


Fatemeh- Correct explanation.


Bluesky97- Welcome. Correct explanation.


Bora- Grat? Change is too vague.


Good efforts, everyone. Explanation coming. Feel free to ask any questions.
