I didn't get this yesterday, but it makes sense today. lets break it down. V... (subject) can't (verb) (missing comma here) he got (compound s/v) a (object main determiner) job (indirect object). So as you see, the character known as "V.." cannot go skiing thursday as he has acquired employment which in turn disables his participation. Apparently this is how i procrastinate grammar homework. Where are you guys skiing?
