What is he doing?
2.
Mrs Smith didn’t go to work to do some clothes shopping for her family. She is often very busy and her children do not like to go shopping, so as there are a few sales on in town, she thought this was a good time to find some bargains. First she went into Marks and Spencer’s where she picked up two polo shirts, a pair of trousers, plimsolls and a winter coat for her son. Then she chose a pinafore, two shirts and a jacket for her daughter. As she went passed the men’s department she found a grey suit on sale for her husband and remembered he needed a belt and a new tie. After paying for the things she chose, she went to Primark to buy a pair of pyjamas and a dressing gown for her daughter. While she was in the shop, she found a very nice Superman onesie she knew her son would love wearing. There were also lovely slippers on sale which she bought for herself. The last shop she went into was Debenhams, where with the help of an assistant, found a beautiful red cardigan, a silk purple blouse and a pair of boots. After all that shopping, Mrs Smith decided to take a rest at Costa and drink a cup of coffee.
