And the correct answer is:

 

"He may have been in a shower, so he couldn't hear the bell"

 

That's what my English teacher said. And when I read what Coyote said "He may had been having a...", he answer:

 

'oh well that's a little too much, isn't it?'.. thanks for your effort guys anyways :)

Failed answer is failed.

 

EDIT: Wait.. He may have been in a shower? Jesus, tell your teacher that he needs a few english lessons. Being in a shower means being in the shower. Having a shower means washing yourself (having a shower).

Fυck, you'll have to try harder kiddo.

I don't think the the main point is about having shower or being in the shower, I think we just need to express a sentence saying that a person was unable to hear the bell ringing.

The word "shower" can't be used with the verb "have", but with the verb "take".

If you say "I'm having a shower", that means that you're eating a piece of your tub. rofl.

WTF has to do the eating there?!

 

have - has - had

 

he had a showed

i'm having a shower

i'm gonna take a shower

The first sentence says:

"Dunno dude, I guess he was having a shower, so he prolly couldn't hear the bell"

The one that your teacher gave says:

"Dunno mate, I guess that he was in the shower so he prolly couldn't hear the bell"

 

In this part of UOE you have to rewrite the sentence, but leaving it with the same meaning.

Not change a part of it, just so that another can be the same.

I was right.

he may have been taking a shower...

"He may have been in a shower, so he couldn't hear the bell"

 

None of us was, according to what the teacher said.

He may needed to to do it, so that it would match the word limit.
