that they (will be / are / would be) would be away at a conference they had to attend. That would
give me the opportunity to have a party and invite friends that I (had not seen / had not
been seeing / have not seen) had not seen for a long time. So, I told Kelly, my closest friend, about
(it / them / us) it but she thought that it would be (- / a / an) an open party and felt free to invite
lots of people I (hardly / hard / harder) hardly knew. On the day of the party,
I (was shocking / was shocked / were shocked) was shocked to see that my house was so full with
people that it was difficult to get from the living room to the kitchen. The house was also an
absolute mess and, unfortunately, there was (any / no / none) no way I could tidy it up before my
parents came home. When they saw the state the house was (about / in / on) in _, I was in big
trouble. Well, one thing is for sure. Now I can say that I (have learnt / learn / had learnt) have
learnt my lesson and I will be more careful the next time I plan a party.
