Aunt Agather and the French Chef Phrasal verbs with go
My Aunt Agather is looking for a boyfriend. I suggested a friend who is a chef. She said he once went out with a chef. She didn’t want to go through that experience again. She had met him the year before. His name was Jean-Paul, he was a famous French Chef. She wanted to impress him but she didn’t know anything about cooking so she went on a cookery course. On the first day she bought the necessary ingredients for the first lesson, some milk. It was very expensive, the price had gone up! Prices are always going up, she thought. And when she opened the carton, she realised it had gone off! Then the teacher arrived! It was her boyfriend. She decided to carry on. He went through the first recipe. “This is a famous English recipe that goes back to the Romans.” Explained Jean-Paul. It was very complicated. Aunt Agather knew she could never make it. Then the teacher went out of the room. She suddenly had an idea. She stuck her fork into the electric socket. Bang! The lights went out, and then the alarms went off. Then the sprinklers went off. It was chaos. Aunt Agather never went back to the cookery class and she never saw Jean-Paul again.
