And I (practise) HAVE BEEN PRACTISING hard for the last month. ” “I (wait) WILL WAIT for you to change if you (like) LIKE , ” she told me.

“I think it’s time you (relax) RELAXED for a change. You (worry) HAVE BEEN WORRYING too much about things lately. And people who (worry) WORRY too much (fall) FALL ill more easily. It’s got nothing to do with the rain!”
