Alright Olivia? Bloody good effort from you! đ
Well done, this is superb. Just two things to note, both in para 3:
I spent ÂŁ10 on drinks for her but then she got knackered and fancy to go home, I didnât get her phone number and I was very gutted.
> the verb fancy needs the gerund, so it should read: fancied going home
> Adjectives like knackered and gutted are what we call âAbsolute Adjectivesâ. This means that is generally not capable of being intensified or compared. Therefore we donât use âveryâ with these kinds of adjective.
