ONE HUNDRED TWENTY DAYS IN 120 WORDS Readings for EFL Students “A COMBINADO, PLEASE” Grammar Point: Prepositions of Time There is a woman who sells puddings on a street corner in Otuzco. She gets there at 5:00 in the afternoon and stays until 8:00 at night, both on weekdays and weekends. Sometimes─especially when it is cold, I buy a hot  combinado. Combinado is─basically─rice pudding and purple corn pudding served together in the same tupperware. This dessert tastes delicious. Rice pudding is sweeter. Purple corn pudding is a little bit tart.
