Для задания
Рассказ идёт в прошедшем времени, поэтому используем Past Simple: agreed, said, enjoyed, sang, did not expect, called, left, taught. В прямой речи («I am sorry», «You see») используется настоящее время. Принадлежность выражается формой 's (lady's), а перед существительным нужно притяжательное местоимение her.
