Dear teachers,

Would you please help me find a rather interesting end to this sentence ?

They were used to meeting for coffee...

Thank you in advance,
Hela

Hello Hela

Maybe:

"They were used to meeting for coffee and Swahili."

(You only said "rather interesting" � not "very interesting"!)

See you,
MrP

Hello MrP,

In fact, I did write "very" in the first place but then changed it into "rather" because I didn't want to be too demanding. But maybe you're right, I should change it to "very" again. Very Happy

Have a nice day,
Hela

Oh, I think "rather" was quite a good idea. ("Very interesting" would have been quite inhibiting.)

Have a good weekend!

MrP
