want) to impress everyone. He (to open) his new law office, but business (to be) very slow at first.
One day, he (to see) a man coming up the path. He (to decide) to make a big impression on this
new client when he (to arrive). As the man (to come) to the door, Joe (to pick up) the phone. He (to
motion) the man in, all the while talking. “No. Absolutely not. You tell those clowns in New York that
I (not settle) this case for less than one million. Yes. The Appeals Court (to agree) to hear that case
next week. I (to handle) the primary argument and the other members of my team (to provide) support.
Tell the District Attorney that I (to meet) with him next week to discuss the details.”
This sort of thing (to go on) for almost five minutes. Joe (to put down) the phone and (to turn)
to the man. “I (to be) sorry for the delay, but as you can see, I (to be) very busy. What can I do for
you?” The man (to reply), “I (to be) from the phone company. I (to come) to repair your phone.”
