W: Did you watch television last night, Richard
M: Yes, I did. Was there anything that interested you, Laura
W: There was a good game. Did you see it
M: Oh, I didn’t. I wanted to, but my wife preferred to see an old film.
W: What a pity! It was quite exciting. Both teams played very well.
M: How did it finish

W: Why
