  1. What do they decide to cook on Wednesday?
  2. What does Ines refuse to buy, and why?
  3. Which quantifiers can you hear?
Show transcript

Ines:How many onions do we actually need? We already have a few at home.

Bruno:Buy three. And we don't have any rice left, I checked this morning.

Ines:Fine. But no ready meals this week — there's too much salt and very little real food in them.

Bruno:Agreed. Let's make a big soup on Wednesday; the leftovers can be Thursday's lunch.

Ines:Perfect. Add a little ginger, it makes a huge difference.

Bruno:And a few apples, before you ask.
