I am eating in a restaurant.

When tony steele came in.

1) Review the usage of the past continuous tense, focusing on the usage of when, that is, the main sentence verb uses the past continuous tense, and the subordinate verb guided by when uses the simple past tense, and pay attention to the difference from while (the verb guided by while in a complex sentence uses the past continuous tense, and the other complex sentence uses the simple past continuous tense or the past continuous tense). For example, the original sentence can be changed to: When I was having dinner in a restaurant, Tony Steele came in.

Tony worked in a law firm a few years ago.

But now he works in a bank.

1) Ask the students about the usage of verb tenses from the adverbials of time in the two sentences after but. 2) Pay attention to the different prepositions used in different places when working in a law firm and in a bank. 3) Lawyers only need to memorize the basic meaning, and pay attention to the fact that bank can also mean river bank.

Compare Caesar's famous saying: I came, I saw, I conquered. 2) Sit at the table and eat.

He never borrowed money from me. Ask the students why they use the present perfect tense (the iconic word never) here.

When he was eating, I asked him

Lend me twenty pounds.

When I borrowed twenty pounds from him, he was eating. But it should be noted that these two sentences have different meanings. The main point of the original sentence was that I borrowed money from Tony on my own initiative, but the main point was that Tony had dinner.

To my surprise, he lent me the money at once. 2)immediately can be put before lent, but it is better to put it at the end of the sentence, because it can highlight Tony's thoughtlessness when he lent me money, which the author uses as a foreshadowing for the following.

I have never borrowed money from you.

Tony said, "so now you can pay for my dinner!" "

Pay for sth. What to buy. 2) Pay attention to the implied meaning of this sentence: the author owes Tony a favor, because he borrowed 20 pounds, so he has to pay back not only 20 pounds, but also Tony's dinner bill, which can be described as "stealing chickens and not eating rice."
