34.3 got to (past tense)

34.3.1 Dee is going to see her friend Lucy. She planned to arrive at the station near Lucy's

house at 11am but the train was delayed.

Dee: I'm so sorry I'm late! A train broke down in front of my train so we

had to wait for ages. And my phone's battery died so I couldn't text you.

Lucy: Oh no. Are you ok?

Dee:  I'm  a  bit  stressed  to  be  honest.  The  train  didn't  get  to  Weybridge

until 10:45 and then I had to wait for a train to Hampton. We finally got to

Hampton at 11:30 but then we had to wait to go into the station!

Lucy:  Typical  British  trains!  Poor  you.  Let's  go  and  get  a  nice  cup  of

coffee.

Dee: Great idea.
