Please Move My Things

(1) Danika: Listen
Hi, are you the [vocab word=mover]mover[/vocab]?

A mover moves things for you.

(2) Mover: Listen
Yes, we are the movers.
(3) Danika: Listen
Great. The boxes are all [vocab word=packed]packed[/vocab]. There are some [vocab word=delicate]delicate[/vocab] things. Please move them very carefully. The [vocab word=piano]piano[/vocab] is my mother's piano. Please move it especially carefully.

"very" is an adverb of degree. "carefully" is an adverb of manner.

(4) Mover: Listen
No problem. Marc, let's move the [vocab word=dining table]dining table[/vocab], first.
(5) Danika: Listen
The [vocab word=hallway]hallway[/vocab] is [vocab word=narrow]narrow[/vocab]. Please move it really slowly...

The adverb "really" modifies (helps) the adverb "slowly".

(6) : Listen
(Scratching sound)
(7) Mover: Listen
Oops.

"Oops" = "Oh!" or "I made a mistake!"

(8) Danika: Listen
Oh, my... Look at my [vocab word=wall]wall[/vocab]!
(9) Mover: Listen
Sorry! I will [vocab word=repair]repair[/vocab] it later for you.

"will fix" is the future tense of "fix". Later (after the move), the mover will fix the wall.

(10) Danika: Listen
Okay, fine.
(11) Mover: Listen
Let's move the [vocab word=fish tank]fish tank[/vocab] next.

"next" is an adverb.

(12) Danika: Listen
Be careful. There's a light above the fish tank. Please [vocab word=lift]lift[/vocab] it very gently and slowly...

"very" modifies the adverbs "gently" and "slowly".

(13) : Listen
(The light falls off)
(14) Mover: Listen
Oops.
(15) Danika: Listen
Oh, my... Look at my light!
(16) Mover: Listen
Sorry! We will repair it later for you.
(17) Mover: Listen
Where is the piano?
(18) Danika: Listen
It's in that room. The right [vocab word=foot]foot[/vocab] is [vocab word=loose]loose[/vocab]. Don't move it too fast...
(19) : Listen
(The foot falls off)
(20) Mover: Listen
Oops.
(21) Danika: Listen
Okay, stop. How often do you move delicate things? You don't do it often, do you?

"You don't do it often, do you?" means "You don't do it often, right?" It's a question, but Danika knows the answer already.

(22) Mover: Listen
Don't worry. We move delicate [vocab word=furniture]furniture[/vocab] very frequently.

"often" is the adverb of frequency. You put it before the verb ("move") or at the end of the sentence.

(23) Danika: Listen
How often do you break them?
(24) Mover: Listen
Well, we don't break them too often. We very rarely break anything! Really rarely!

"We rarely break anything" is a positive sentence. But, "rarely" means you don't usually break things. So, the sentence is almost like a negative sentence. That's why we say "We rarely break anything", NOT "We rarely break something."

(25) Danika: Listen
Somehow, I don't [vocab word=believe]believe[/vocab] that...
