Hi teachers,
This is for a listening exercise. Felix is an Inspector.
Context:
Chief,’ Felix began. ‘How did Dinon escape from prison?’
‘That’s not important now,’ the Chief said.
‘But perhaps he had friends in prison,’ Felix said. ‘Perhaps they know something. I need to talk to people at the prison.’
‘Well, you can’t,’ the Chief said.
Two possible questions:
1. What did Felix want to investigate in the prison?
If Dinon had friends in prison and if they knew something.
2. Was the Chief going to let Felix do that? Explain your answer.
No, she wasn’t. She said that he couldn’t.
My question and opinion:
One of my students asked me if he could write ‘because’ before ‘she said that ...’, My opinion is that it is completely unnecessary, but I don’t really know if it is wrong.
Thanks in advance.
