Mary: I have done it. There was not much to do.
Mother: Good. Well, you look tired. What have you been doing?
Mary: I have been ironing some clothes and cleaning the carpet. Then I have been doing some washing up and some cooking.
Mother: Why didn’t you ask Denis for help?
Mary: I did. But he didn’t want to.
Mother: Is he in?
Mary: Yes, he is. He is speaking over the telephone in his room. He has been speaking for two hours already.
Mother: Denis! Denis! Can you hear me? … (Opens the door.) Oh, you’re here!
Denis: Yes, mum.
Mother: When are you going to tidy up your bedroom?
Denis: I’ll do it now.
Mother: Haven’t you cleaned your bike yet? It’s really dirty.
Denis: No, I haven’t. I’ll do it this week.
Mother: So, what have you been doing since you came home?
Denis: Well… I have been washing my pants and socks…
Mary: Really? The washing machine stopped an hour ago.
Denis: Why didn’t you tell me?
Mary: You were the person who has been washing his pants and socks, weren’t you? Why did I have to tell you?
