CK 1 1027720 Tom wondered if he should pretend to appreciate the dinner Mary made for him. CK 1 920441 Tom's father comes home once in a while, but he never sticks around for long.

CK 1 2473279 I've been told that sitting for hours working on my computer is bad for my back. CK 1 1038009 It took Tom fifteen minutes of googling before he found what he was looking for. CK 1 1526420 Tom didn't think it would be appropriate for John to give Mary a pearl necklace. CK 1 2042916 What I really want is for Tom to teach me how to play a few chords on my guitar. CK 1 1095202 Tom could have paid for Mary's ticket if he'd known she didn't have enough money. CK 1 1027574 I doubt that Tom had to sell his car in order to raise money for medical expenses.

CK 1 1024311 Tom put up with the pain for a couple of weeks before finally going to the hospital. CK 1 2871698 Tom is looking for someone to help him translate a document from French into English. CK 1 1092655 Tom took me to a restaurant where you can eat as much as you want for thirty dollars. CK 1 1027543 I heard that Tom had been smuggling drugs into America for years before he got caught.
