<p><span>I can't believe I (get) </span><strong><span id="GapSpan0" class="GapSpan">got</span></strong><span> that apartment. I (submit) </span><strong><span id="GapSpan1" class="GapSpan">submitted</span></strong><span> my application last week, but I didn't think I had a chance of actually getting it. When I (show) </span><strong><span id="GapSpan2" class="GapSpan">showed</span></strong><span> up to take a look around, there were at least twenty other people who (arrive) </span><span id="GapSpan3" class="GapSpan">had arrived</span><span> before me. Most of them (fill, already) </span><strong><span id="GapSpan4" class="GapSpan">had already filled </span></strong><span>out their applications and were already leaving. The landlord said I could still apply, so I did.</span><br /><br /><span>I (try) </span><strong><span id="GapSpan5" class="GapSpan">tried</span></strong><span> to fill out the form, but I couldn't answer half of the questions. They (want) </span><strong><span id="GapSpan6" class="GapSpan">wanted</span></strong><span> me to include references, but I didn't want to list my previous landlord because I (have) </span><strong><span id="GapSpan7" class="GapSpan">had had</span></strong><span> some problems with him in the past and I knew he wouldn't recommend me. I (end) </span><strong><span id="GapSpan8" class="GapSpan">ended</span></strong><span> up listing my father as a reference.</span><br /><br /><span>It was total luck that he (decide) </span><strong><span id="GapSpan9" class="GapSpan">decided</span></strong><span> to give me the apartment. It turns out that the landlord and my father (go) </span><strong><span id="GapSpan10" class="GapSpan">went</span></strong><span> to high school together. He decided that I could have the apartment before he (look) </span><strong><span id="GapSpan11" class="GapSpan">looked</span></strong><span> at my credit report. I really lucked out!</span></p>
