Thinking SpainFrank Martin does not work in an office. He works in a factory and he never comes late. Work starts at seven but he always gets there early. Today he is five minutes early. His wife Sara always drives him to work.OK. I think we're more likely to say "... and he is never late."

Hi canadian45,
Thank you for the reply.
But the text says, 'He works in a factory and he never comes late? Maybe it is right to use 'comes' because after it we don't have the 'factory' or 'there'. Is that so?
d) How often does Frank come to the factory late? correct if you are asking the question at the factory

Hi Jim,
Thank you for your replies.
These two prepositions 'for' and 'to' always drive me crazy.
So here the pattern is, you change something TO something else, right?
