My friend was supposed to pick me up from the airport, but she just called me and said she is stuck in traffic downtown so she won't be here right now. It's 11 now, so there is no way I'm going to the restaurant at 11:30 as we planned. I wonder if we could reschedule our appointment to sometime this afternoon
(A) M: Yes, we had planned to meet at 11:30 a.m. Since you can't make it, let's reschedule our appointment at 1:00 pm. (B) M: Have you forgot it? We had planned to meet at about 11 a.m. Since you can't make it, let's reschedule our appointment at 1:00 pm. (C) M: I am sorry.

Even though he won't have much space, he will have a great view. ,M: And you get a new sofa? ,F: Yup, it will be nice to get rid of my old one. ,M: Maybe Jack needs to get rid of some other furniture when he moves. ,F: I guess you can find out next week.
