I am testing myself making up sentences to see how I progress with grammar. (Context is rubbish.) Are they correct? The brackets indicate my doubts.
“Hi, this is plumber John speaking”. “A plumber?” I asked surprised. “Yes, the plumber of Oxford Street, John Jackson, Jr, who did your bathroom last year”. “I remember now,[yes, of course], how could I forget. I’m sorry, Mr. Jackson”, I said, scratching my head, “hello, are you well? How can I help?” “Now then, I can come tomorrow, 3 June [-] Thursday, that is.” Are you sure you haven’t got your appointments mixed up, Mr. Jackson?” “No, Mr. Smith”, he replied, “your wife rang me and asked if I would be available this Thursday, hence the call. I have already bought what she asked for, i.e., white tiles, kitchen sink and new taps. My son, Rob, will give us a lift. Tomorrow, I will turn up with my apprentice George who cannot drive[] and the day after tomorrow, I will bring another apprentice, Henry, with me. You met Rob - my only child[,] last time.”
