							| There is a problem of space in your writing ;)   but in any case you don īt say It īs time īs lunch!   lunch doesn īt belong to time.   ********************************************** When you call kids to come eat, normaly you say :"Lunch Time!" with a loud voice to call the whole family ;) LOL   **********************************************   For the answer according your exam, it īs ==> It īs lunch time.   Have a good weekend  Babs     |  22 May 2010
