Q&A Diary Day3 Could you please correct my English so that sounds natural? Q) Have you talked to anyone over the phone today? Ans.) Of course, I talked to my colleagues several times over the phone at work. When I finished my work, I called my home. It was the first call other than work today. My wife was not at home at that time but my second son answered it. So I told him, “Tell her I said Hi! I’m heading home now!”

Hi Hiro,

This is how I would say it:

Q) Have you phoned anyone today? (Or: Have you called anyone today?)

['Have you spoken to anyone over the phone today?' is also OK, but a bit long-winded]

A) Of course—I had to make several calls at work. When I finished work, I called my home. That was my first non-work call today. My wife wasn't home at that time, but my second son answered (it), so I told him, "tell her I said 'hi'! I'm heading home now".

Your answer was pretty good, Hiro :)

Hope that helps,

Adam
