Can you check the use of the following phrasal verbs, please?
1) First, Betty tells her husband Fred that Martin, her husband’s friend, saw him cheating on her with another woman. Fred begs her not to listen to Martin because he is a liar and he is making it up
2) Then, Betty tells her husband that she caught him out herself. She saw him kissing another girl.Fred tries to justify himself telling her that he was just looking after her. He gave her a hug because she was upset. (Can you use the phrasal verb “play down”: Fred tries to play down the fact
Betty tells him that it was a hug which turned into a kiss. This time she has no intention of forgiving him. 3) Actually, she decides to break up with him and tells him that he should face up to it.He would like her to take him back. He has already said sorry to her but she has given up on him.
4) Are the following expressions all possible?
I’m satisfied with my Christmas holidays (meaning I had fun/a great time/enjoyed myself during my ...)
I enjoyed my Christmas holidays.
I looked back with nostalgia on my holidays (I missed my holidays)
I stayed with a friend OR at a friend's house in the mountains over Christmas
Thanks a lot
Thank you
All OK except for "caught him out herself." = It's sufficient to say "she caught him...
