Did You Lock the Door?

(1) Mrs. Jackson: Listen
When did you [vocab word=lock]lock[/vocab] the door last night?
(2) David: Listen
What door?

This is short for "What door are you talking about?"

(3) Mrs. Jackson: Listen
The door at the [vocab word=back]back[/vocab] of the store. When did you lock it?
(4) David: Listen
Oh, I didn't lock it last night.

"didn't is the helping verb + not. "did" is the past tense of "do". The main verb is in the base tense in a negative sentence.

(5) Mrs. Jackson: Listen
Really, David? A [vocab word=thief]thief[/vocab] came and [vocab word=steal]stole[/vocab] everything!
(6) David: Listen
I was very [vocab word=tired]tired[/vocab], and I [vocab word=forget]forgot[/vocab]. Did you call the [vocab word=police]police[/vocab]?

"was" is the simple past of "is".

(7) Mrs. Jackson: Listen
Of course, I called the police. They are at the store now.

"They" is the police. "Police" is always in plural. For example, you can say, "The police are at the store."

(8) David: Listen
What did the thief steal?

The helping verb ("did") is in its past tense. The main verb ("steal") is in its base form.

(9) Mrs. Jackson: Listen
The thief stole the [vocab word=coffee maker]coffee maker[/vocab], the [vocab word=computer]computer[/vocab], and the ice cream [vocab word=machine]machine[/vocab].
(10) David: Listen
Oh.
(11) Mrs. Jackson: Listen
The thief, then, stole 20 [vocab word=pound]pounds[/vocab] of [vocab word=meat]meat[/vocab], all the lettuce, and all the potatoes. The thief even stole the [vocab word=menu]menu[/vocab]!

"20 pounds" = "20 lb" (about 10 kg)

(12) David: Listen
That's funny. Maybe, he was very hungry!
(13) Mrs. Jackson: Listen
It's not funny, David!
(14) David: Listen
Did the thief steal anything else?

"anything else" means "any other things".

(15) Mrs. Jackson: Listen
No, the thief didn't steal anything else... Wait. The thief also stole an old [vocab word=guitar]guitar[/vocab].

In question and negative sentences, we use "anything", NOT "something".

(16) David: Listen
An old guitar? ... That's my guitar! I left it at the store last night. The thief stole my guitar!

"stole" is the past tense of "steal". "left" is the past tense of "leave".

(17) Mrs. Jackson: Listen
NOW, it’s not funny any more, is it?
