The Past Continuous Tense

Unit 10

IV. Read the joke.

Williams, a businessman, always wanted to outdo his friend Owen Hill who was a businessman too, but he could never do it.

When he went on holiday to France, Owen went to Italy. When he bought a small comfortable house in the country, Owen bought an attractive house in France. When he bought a small car, Owen bought the latest model of Rolls-Royce.

One day Williams bought a telephone for his car. When he wanted to clarify some matters with Owen, he phoned him from his car:

- May I speak to Mr Hill, please?

- Hill is here.

- Hello, Owen. I’m speaking from my car to make an appointment with you.

- Hello, Williams. I’m speaking from my car, too. Can you hold on a moment? I’m speaking on the other line.

Is it a sort of competition? What’s your point of view?
