WORKING OVERTIME
I’m an employee of the Goodwell Computer Company. This is a typical Friday afternoon at our office. The employees are
working overtime. We haven’t gone home because we haven’t finished our work yet. Friday is always a very busy day.
The secretary hasn’t typed two important letters yet. The bookkeeper hasn’t written the paychecks. The office clerks
haven’t delivered the mail. And the boss still hasn’t spoken to three important people who are waiting to see her.
As for me, I’m the custodian, and I haven’t finished my work yet either. I still haven’t cleaned the offices because my co-
workers haven’t gone home yet! I’m not really surprised. Friday is always a very busy day at our office.

Has the secretary typed two important letters? _________________________
Has the bookkeeper written the paychecks? _________________________
Have the office clerks delivered the mail? _________________________
