While the class 1 were doing (do) an exercise, the head teacher, Ms Brown,
2 came (come) in. She seemed very angry. She said that a policeman 3 had rung
(ring) the school saying that a stolen car4 had been seen (see) in the school
car park. She said the car was a red sports car with the number plate JAF67JK.
Sam was shocked because it was the number of his car. Then he 5 remembered
(remember) what had happened at the weekend. On Saturday afternoon his new car
6 disappeared (disappear) from the road in front of his house. Sam called the police but ten minutes later his brother drove up.
‘What 7 are you doing (you / do) in my car?’ asked Sam. ‘I borrowed it because
I wanted to go to the shops,’ his brother said, ‘I thought you 8 didn’t need
(not need) it’. Sam was so happy to get his car back that he 9 forgot (forget)
to phone the police to tell them that he had his car back. Now Sam didn’t know
what to do. If he 10 told (tell) Ms Brown what had happened he 11 would be (be) in trouble but if he
12 didn’t tell (not tell) her they13 would take (take) his car away. He was
just about to put his hand up when Frank Marsden put up his hand and said, ‘I
14 found (find) the keys in the corridor miss. It’s a beautiful car and I
wanted to take it for a drive, it wasn’t really stolen.’ Sam looked in his bag.
The keys weren’t there. Frank must 15 have taken (take) the car for a drive without
Sam knowing. Sam was furious with Frank but then he thought, ‘If I 16 don’t say
(not say)anything both of us 17 will be (be) in really serious trouble because
they’ll think Frank stole the car on Saturday.’ Sam put his hand up slowly.
‘Please miss, it’s my car. I reported the car stolen on Saturday and forgot to
tell the police I had found it again. I gave Frank the keys so he 18 could
(can) go for a drive.’
Ms Brown looked confused for a moment and then said, ‘Come with me both
of you. We 19 will have (have) a long chat in my office, you have both got a
lot of explaining to do.’
