Most of the Morettis' furniture is

• in their old home

• in two large trucks

• in the right rooms

• in the hall

The Morettis' house

• was complete 18 months ago

• sn't finished yet

• is 1,500 square metres in size

• is now finished

The Morettis were able to buy the house

• because they worked hard and saved money

• with money they borrowed from the bank

• with money that their parents gave them

• because it was old and small

The Morettis aren't swimming in the pool today because

• it isn't finished

• it's too cold outdoors

• there isn't any water in it

• they are too busy

Mr and Mrs Moretti want to

• have their own space away from the children

• watch TV and listen to music with the children

• help the children with their homework

• supervise their children closely
