The check that settles it, sentence 16

Zoe's mum in Cardiff got a text: «Hi Mum, it's me, broke my phone, new number, can you send money?» She showed Zoe and laughed: «Your brother's in the living room, love.» The check is easy: ring the number you already know, or look in the next room.

Who acts: mum, text, Two lads, you, brother, check · What happens: get, be, break, send, show, laugh · To what, where: text, Two lads, phone, money, Zoe, living room · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «The check that settles it» of the everyday course of Mova's primary school.
