Checkpoint 7-9 210

Can you use these expressions?

Jan: my boyfriend’s phone is always busy. It drives me crazy.

Rob Oh, I know what you mean. My girlfriend never answers her cell phone.

Jan: that’s annoying. If you have a phone, you should always answer it.

Rob: I’m not so sure. Sometimes it’s you know what I mean rude to answer the phone-if you’re having dinner or something sort of?

Jan: yeah, but you can always answer and just say, “Can I call you back?” that’s OK, on the other hand?

Rob: Maybe. You know what I mean, if you don’t answer it, the person can leave a message.

Jan: oh, no. I can’t believe this. He’s still on the phone.

Rob: well, you might want to leave him a message.

Jan: Yeah, I could do that. He never checks his voice mail, though.
