Answer:

When Joan said that she would feed Jean's dog

Step-by-step explanation:

A verbal contract comes into existence when there is a proposal and the person who receives the offer accepts the conditions. When the offeror and the offeree comes into a verbal agreement (terms and conditions) the speaking acceptance becomes the contract into reality.
