2.4. Jane is very upset. Her friend, Mary, has come to visit her. Look at their conversation below. Replace the words in italics with multi-word verbs.

Mary What's the matter, Jane? Have you had an argument with Paul again?

Jane Yes, you could say that . . .

Mary Well, it takes two to have an argument. What was it about this time?

Jane He said I was always complaining and criticizing him.

Mary Is it true?

Jane Well, in a way, yes. But I was feeling insecure because I thought he was starting to dislike me.

Mary How long have you been seeing one another?

Jane Nearly a year now. But yesterday I discovered he's been having a relationship with someone else.

Mary Oh, so what did you do?

Jane I told him, and he said he wanted to end our relationship.

Mary But I thought you were planning to get married in June?

Jane We've cancelled it.

Mary Well, I'm sorry to hear the two of you have ended your relationship.

Jane I think it'll take me a long time to recover from this.

Mary Well, perhaps it's for the best. You were never really happy with him. And after all, there are plenty more fish in the sea!

  • What does the last sentence of the dialogue mean? Why does Mary say it?

  • How would you express the same idea in your own language?

We had a lot on common and thought about getting married. I was engaged with her for six months, but in the end she got married with someone else.
