If you have to compete with him, you don’t stand a chance.

I have to go back and start from scratch again.

Let’s stay in touch.

I have the habit of thinking out loud.

I have to tie some loose ends first.

I won’t go unless you come with me.

Every company has its ups and downs.

Whereas I like chocolate ice cream, my wife likesvanilla ice cream.



¡Qué follón!

Él es sin duda la persona más inteligente aquí.

Mis ventas han crecido por el “boca a boca”.

Es tan despistado que se le olvidó su cumpleaños.

¿Hasta dónde llegamos con esto ayer?

Hasta ahora, hemos ganado todos los partidos.

La mandé a verte para que la conocieras.

Lo haré en seguida.

Según mi secretaria, no hubo llamadas.

Soy consciente de las posibles repercusiones.

Estoy confundido en cuanto a quién es quién.

Le gusta correr riesgos.

Estamos por delante de la competencia.

Las cosas han ido más allá de mi control.

A propósito, ¿ha venido Paco hoy?

Lo haré a primera hora de la mañana.

Si es necesario, puedo traer a Juan para echarte una mano.

En cualquier caso, creo que deberíamos llamarles.

Mi discurso causó el efecto contrario.

Al contrario, creo que conseguiste lo que querías.

El partido fue cancelado debido al tiempo.

Les contrataremos a condición de que entreguen lamercancía antes de Navidades.

Estoy harto de estas listas.

What a mess!

He’s, without a doubt, the most intelligent person here.

My sales have grown by word-of-mouth.

He’s so absent-minded that he forgot his birthday.

How far did we get with this yesterday?

So far we’ve won every game.

I sent her to see you so that you could meet her.

I’ll do it right away.

According to my secretary, there weren’t any calls.

I’m aware of the possible repercussions.

I’m mixed up as to who is who.

He likes to take risks.

We’re ahead of the competition.

Things have gone beyond my control.

By the way, has Paco come today?

I’ll do it first thing in the morning.

If need be, I can bring John to give you a hand.

In any event, I think we should call them.

My speech caused the opposite effect.

On the contrary, I think you achieved what you wanted.

The game was called off because of the weather.

We’ll contract them provided they deliver themerchandise before Christmas.

I’m fed up with these lists.

I’m sick and tired of these lists.

I’ve had it. I’m not going to deal with him anymore.

Common Errors by Spanish Speakers




Yesterday, Phillip Johnson had a busy morning.

He usually gets up at 7:30 every morning, but

yesterday he got up at 7:00 because his wife,

Nancy, had to leave home very early to take

a report to a client of hers 70 miles from

Lincoln. Nancy left home at 7:25 and Phillip

made breakfast for himself and for the

children. Usually Nancy makes breakfast for

all three, but yesterday was an exception.

Phillip took a shower and had breakfast

before the children got up. He prepared fried

eggs and toast for Michael and Denise and at

8:30 he took them to school. He got to the

office at ten minutes past nine. He had three

meetings during the morning. The first one

was at 10 o’clock with the bank’s lawyer. They

discussed a problem with an important client

who wanted to suspend payments on a loan.

They decided to wait until the meeting of the

bank’s Board of Directors to make a final

decision. At 11:30, he received the owner of

a ceramic factory near Lincoln. The man

needed $500,000 to add a new building to

his factory. The ceramic factory was one the

best in Nebraska and Phillip knew the man

very well and trusted him. At 12:00, Phillip

met with the chief commercial officer of the

bank to discuss a salary question concerning

one of the employees in the commercial

department. He went to lunch with the chief

commercial officer at 12:30. They had lunch in

Yesterday morning wasn’t a normal morning

for Nancy Johnson. She usually gets up at

7:30, but yesterday she got up at 6:30. She

took a shower, got dressed, and had

breakfast in less than 45 minutes. She left

home at 7:25 because she had to drive 70

miles to the west of Lincoln to deliver an

interior design plan to John Evans, the owner

of a house that she is decorating. Mr. Evans

needed to give the plan to the company

that is building a new master bedroom for

him and his wife. Nancy had to deliver it

early in the morning because she didn’t have

any time the rest of the day to drive to Mr.

Evans’ house. Her problem was that she had

to be at the technical school where she

teaches interior design at 10 o’clock, when

her first class started. The technical school is

20 miles east of Lincoln, so Nancy had to

drive a total of 160 miles before 10:00. She

drove relatively fast and got to Mr. Evans’

house at 8:35. She spent ten minutes talking

to him about some details of the plan and

then started her drive to the school at 8:45.

She had to drive 90 miles in an hour and

fifteen minutes. Fortunately, Lincoln is a

relatively small city and there isn’t a lot of

traffic. She got to the school at exactly five

minutes to ten. She had a quick coffee with

one of the other teachers and entered her

class at two minutes past ten.

Last week, Nigel Perkins flew to Monte Carlo

with his wife to visit their son, Ronny. Nigel

and his wife go to Monte Carlo two or three

times every year between November and

March because Ronny is too busy the other

half of the year to be with them. They drove

to Gatwick Airport on Wednesday morning

and left the car at the airport parking lot. They

had first class reservations for the two-hour

flight. The plane left Gatwick on time at 11:15

and got to Monte Carlo ten minutes early, at

five minutes past one. Nigel and his wife

weren’t expecting to meet Ronny at the

airport, so they caught a taxi and went to his

apartment near the port. They were

surprised to find that their son wasn’t at

home. Nigel didn’t have a key to the

apartment, so he and his wife spent some

time looking at the shop windows along the

street. After 20 minutes, they went back to

the apartment building and tried again. Ronny

still wasn’t there. The temperature was

around 15 degrees and Nigel’s wife felt a little

cold. They decided to go to a small bookshop

about 300 meters from Ronny’s apartment

building. Nigel likes to spend time in

bookshops, but his wife, Margaret, doesn’t, so

Nigel asked permission to use the telephone

and called Ronny’s mobile number. Ronny

was in a meeting with a tour operator not far

from the bookshop. He said he was sorry

and told Nigel that the porter in his

apartment building had a key to his

apartment. Nigel and Margaret walked back

to the building, called the porter, and asked

for the key. Ronny arrived two hours later.

Last night Natasha had a big surprise.

Yesterday was her birthday and she thought

that nobody at the laboratory knew. She

didn’t want to tell them because Russian

people always bring a lot of food to the

office to celebrate and Natasha was on a

strict diet. But she didn’t remember that her

boss, Gregori, was going out a lot with one of

her best friends, Karina. Gregori and Karina

had lunch together yesterday and Karina told

him that it was Natasha’s birthday. At 4:20,

ten minutes before Natasha was planning to

go to the national library, as she does every

day, Gregori called her on the phone and

asked her to help him with a report he was

trying to get finished before 5:30. She

thought this was strange, because Gregori

doesn’t usually ask her to work late. At 4:30,

she went to his office on the third floor.

When she got there, there were 10 people

with cakes and tea waiting to celebrate her

birthday. They stayed in the office, having a

good time, until 7:00 p.m. Then Gregori

invited all of them to a nightclub in the

center of Moscow where there was good

vodka and a gypsy group that played folk

music. They stayed at the nightclub, eating,

drinking and dancing until 10:30. Natasha got

home at 11:00. She talked to her mother for

a few minutes and then went to bed,

because she had to get up early this morning

to go to the laboratory. She was glad that

today was Friday.

Yesterday, Inés García had a traffic accident.

It happened at about 5:45 p.m. when she

was driving to the University of Seville for

her evening course in Business Management

and Finance. The accident was her fault. She

was driving her car, a Ford Puma, through

the narrow streets in the center of Seville. At

the same time, she was a talking with Paco,

her boyfriend, on her mobile telephone. She

was listening to her boyfriend and didn’t

notice a stop sign in front of her. She ran the

stop sign and another car hit her on the

passenger side. Fortunately, it was a small car

too, an Opel Corsa, and, as a result, the

accident wasn’t serious. Inés cut her phone

conversation and got out of the car. She

went to the other car to speak to the driver.

She was happy to see that the other driver

was a young man, probably the same age as

Inés. When he got out of his car, he smiled

and said hello in Spanish but with a French

accent. Inés simply looked at him and didn’t

say anything. He was tall and very attractive.

He seemed like a very pleasant person. Inés

usually talks a lot, but this time she didn’t

know what to say. The young man asked her

if she had her car papers. Inés went back to

her car and got the papers. They finished the

paperwork in less than ten minutes. Then,

the young Frenchman, whose name was

François Monet, invited her to have a coffee

in a coffee shop across the street. Inés

accepted and disconnected her mobile

telephone.
