Max: I picked up a second shift. I could use the money. ( I picked up an other shift. I could use the case. )
Luisa: But I thought you had another part-time job in the evenings. ( But I knew you got another part-time job in the evenings. )
Max: I normally do, but the restaurant where I work has been cutting back my hours, so I’m trying to pick up as many extra shifts here as I can. ( I usually do that job, but I work restaurants have cutted back my hours, so I want get more shifts here. )
Luisa: And don’t you work at the amusement park on the weekend? (And do you work at the amusement park by weekend? )
