A: Ok, we've bought everything on the list. Let's get to a checkout.
B: Wait a minute. I don't think we've got any eggs left. Let's get some.


1.What does 'I don't think we've got any eggs left.' mean?
2.What words or phrases can 'left' be replaced with?

Thanks.

Left, used like this is the past participle of the verb, to leave.
It means, I think we have used up all the eggs, or we need some eggs.

You can replace it with the phrases above, or you can just say, "I don't think we have any eggs."
