Hey, Bob. What are you doing?

Oh, Nancy! Sorry. I [vocab word=completely]completely[/vocab] forgot our date! I'm so sorry!

"forgot" is the past tense of "forget". A date means Nancy and Bob are girlfriend and boyfriend, and they go out together.

(3) Nancy: Listen
That's okay. We [vocab word=still]still[/vocab] have time. But, what are you doing? Are you doing your homework or something?

For a Yes/No question, the format is Be verb + subject + verb (-ing).

(4) Bob: Listen
No, I'm not doing my homework. I'm writing an email now.

For a negative sentence, put "not" after the be verb.

(5) Nancy: Listen
Who are you writing it to?

This is "Question word + be verb + subject + verb (-ing)".

Oh, what's [vocab word=wrong]wrong[/vocab]?

That's nasty!

The sink is also [vocab word=broken]broken[/vocab]. See?
(13) Nancy: Listen
Are you writing your landlady about the sink, too?
(14) Bob: Listen
Yes, I am.
(15) Nancy: Listen
Well, call her. Don't just write an email.
(16) Bob: Listen
She is a very [vocab word=scary]scary[/vocab] lady. So, I'm not calling her. But, someone is.

"someone" means a person (an unspecified person). "Someone is." here means "Someone is calling her."

(17) Nancy: Listen
Who is calling her?

This is a "subject question". "Who" is the subject of this sentence.

(18) Bob: Listen
You are.

This is short for "You are calling her."

(19) Nancy: Listen
What a wimp...
