Tom was only 20 at the time and was living with his mother.He was working in a bank and travelling to London every day. One morning, he received a mysteriousletter. It was addressed to 'Mr Thomas Parker'. The letter, which was signed, 'A Friend', asked Tom togo to The Crown Inn during his lunch hour. All morning, as he was dealing with customers, Tom waswondering whether he should do this. At lunch time he decided to go to the inn. It was full of peopleand Tom couldn't recognize anyone. He was just wondering if he should leave, when a strangerintroduced himself and said he had known Tom's father, who had died when Tom was a baby.

I have never tasted papaya (before).- with since/for. I've lived here since 1980. I've lived here for 20 years. [> 7.3A]2 Actions which happened at an unspecified time in the past:- with no time reference at all: Have you passed your driving test?(Depending on context, this could mean 'very recently' or 'at any time up to now'.)- with references to recent time, like just, recently, already, still, yet I've just eaten.- repeated/habitual actions: I've watched him on TV several times.
