Answer to Intro on previous page
And the answer is… C)!
A) No, because a main meal is ‘dinner’ with double ‘n’ pronounced /dIn/. ‘Diner’ with only one ‘n’ is pronounced /daI/ and has a different meaning.
B) No, because although a diner can be a person who eats at a restaurant, in this context ‘Tom’s Diner’, wouldn’t make much sense (though ‘Tom’s Dinner Guest’ would!).
C) Yes!! A diner is an American word for a roadside restaurant like the one in the picture above by Edward Hopper.

How many examples of each preposition can you hear in the song? (There may be only one example of a word.)
