have been exchanged,

you seen my father?”

reads the first sentence of
his or her description. The
student being questioned
responds with, “No, I’m
sorry. I haven’t seen him,”
or “Yes, as a matter of fact,
he’s right here [returning
the photograph],” or “I’m
not sure. Describe him
further.” If called upon to
