5. Tiempos verbales de Presente, Pasado, Futuro

Paul y María han quedado para ir al cine. Mientras esperan a que empiece la película hablan de la experiencia de María desde que se vino a vivir a Londres.

Paul: Are you happy to live in London?

María: I am learning a lot and I am having fun now, but at the beginning it was very difficult. I didn´t speak English and I didn´t understand anyone.

Paul: Your English is better now and you look happier than some months ago.

María: Oh, yes. I am very happy here. I am glad that I accepted the grant and I came to live here. I also have some wonderful new friends....

Paul: What about next year? Will you stay here or will you go back to Spain?

María: I don´t know yet...If I find a part-time job I will probably stay next year too.

Paul: I hope that you will stay..look! The film is going to start!
