💋 Grab a coffee, we need to talk.
The weekend is over, but the gossip is just getting started. Over the last six units, you've learned how to piece together clues, expose liars with the receipts, sneak out of strange flats, shift the blame for a ruined party, hold back on sending that double text, and cry over the people who ghosted you.
Now, it's time to put all those messy morning-after skills to the test. Welcome to the Module 3 Gauntlet. If you pass, you can finally move on with your life.
1. The Mega-Mix Vocab Challenge
Let's see if you can remember the absolute worst parts of dating. Drag the correct words to complete the sentences.
1. I drank way too much last night. I am so I can't even look at the sunlight.
2. He promised to take me out, and then completely me. I haven't heard from him in a week.

2. The Grammar Gauntlet: Module 3
Six units. Six grammatical disasters waiting to happen. Choose your words carefully.
1. Modals of Deduction (Unit 13): "He didn't reply to my texts all weekend. He..."

2. Reported Speech (Unit 14): "She told me she..."
"Tinder, but I saw her on it yesterday!"
3. Modals of Obligation (Unit 15): "If you want to play it cool, you..."
"double text him!"
4. The Passive Voice (Unit 16): "Don't look at me! The lamp..."
"before I even got to the party."
5. Time Clauses (Unit 17): "I will block his number as soon as he..."
"me again."
6. Used To & Would (Unit 18): "Before he got that new job, he..."
"be so arrogant."
3. Speaking Practice: The Ultimate Debrief ☕
Grab your language partner and sort out this mess.
- Tell a story about a wild party. Make sure you use the Passive Voice to avoid taking the blame for anything that was ruined!
- What is something you didn't use to do on dates, but now you do?
- Imagine your friend is going on a date with someone who has a lot of red flags. Give them three rules using must, mustn't, and don't have to.
