Hello Stefi, Another try ;) 1- I should have not let him pay all of the meal. 2- Mandy shouldn't have told Steve about us. 3- Anita might have not gotten the text message.

Hi Stefi, isn't that a bit too advanced? I don't know exactly if you want to recompose the sentence with the identical number of words but i find it intriguing. I'll do my best. 1 I wish I had paid for half of the meal, but I didn’t. - I didn't pay for the meal, although I wish I had paid for half of the bill. 2 It was wrong of Mandy to tell Steve about us. - Mandy did wrong and told Steve about us. 3 Perhaps Anita didn’t get the text message. - Anita possibly, did not get the text message. Recomposing a sentence, in most cases, does affect the contextual comprehension.
