Text 2 What to do if you see or hear anything suspicious – Dial 999

Your police force needs your help in beating the criminals. The police can't do their job without it. You can help best by reporting at once anything that strikes you as suspicious. If you saw someone being attacked or robbed in a shop, you would naturally phone the police. But ring them just the same if you see someone lurking around your neighbour's side door or trying car doors. The police would prefer a false alarm to a burglary or a stolen car. And ring at once – seconds count. Dial 999. It's a free call.

Ask for Police and tell them as much as you can: 1. where the incident happened. 2. the number of people involved.

Task 1. Comment on the underlined words. Think grammatically.

Task 2. Ask questions on the text beginning with "Would you phone the police if you … ?"
