PART 2 · LESSON 15 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES

If we had defined this earlier

The Wi-Fi password comes back to the table because the decision to set it aside was kept on a napkin, and Ana learns to say what would have been different with a clear record. Say the Wi-Fi password is back on the list Omar asked, we set that aside in the first week, did we write it down, we wrote it on your list, my list is on a napkin, had we clarified the scope in writing we could have shown him, instead we explain it again, a clearer record would have helped, so I type the napkin, you type the napkin and we send it to everyone.
