886973 She asked him to give her some money so she could go to a restaurant with her friends. CK 1 902984 To put it bluntly, the reason this team won't win is because you're holding them back. CK 1 1095085 Tom couldn't persuade his classmates to change their minds about postponing the dance. CK 1 1094648 Tom didn't think he had a chance to succeed, but he at least wanted to give it a shot. CK 1 1094611 Tom didn't want to hear about all of Mary's problems, but he sat quietly and listened. CK 1 1094170 Tom eventually figured out how to install a free database application on his computer. CK 1 1877474 Tom has been trying to get Mary to marry him ever since he graduated from high school. CK 1 1109402 Tom managed to cut himself while trying to open a bag of peanuts with his pocketknife. CK 1 2311263 Tom offered to carry Mary's suitcase, but she told him she wanted to carry it herself. CK 1 1884430 Tom walked over to the woman with a drink in her hand and asked her what her name was. CK 1 2042926 Tom wanted me to tell you that he was going to be away from the office for a few days. CK 1 2042927 Tom wanted to cut down that tree in his front yard, but Mary doesn't want it cut down. CK 1 1040496 Tom's muscles were tired and he wanted to get home and soak in a hot bath for a while. CK 1 2998820 When Tom comes to Boston, he usually stays at a hotel, but sometimes he stays with us. CK 1 1885890 How long do you think Tom will work for us before he quits and goes to another company? CK 1 953434 I don't think I'll ever sound like a native speaker and I don't really think I need to. CK 1 2220870 I don't think I've ever done anything that would cause my parents to want to punish me. CK 1 909538 I would like to drastically decrease the amount of time it takes me to clean the house. CK 1 1096174 It didn't surprise me at all that Tom didn't do what he'd told Mary he was going to do. CK 1 1030098 It doesn't make much sense to me that Tom would be allowed to go, but Mary wouldn't be. CK 1 1040704 It occurred to me while I was waiting for Tom that maybe I shouldn't have invited Mary. CK 1 1027338 Since Tom is leaving for Boston tomorrow, today is our last chance to give this to him. CK 1 909509 To become a professional banjo player, you need to spend thousands of hours practicing. CK 1 1029638 Tom asked Mary when she was going to buy a new pair of shoes for her youngest daughter. CK 1 1095602 Tom can't decide whether to buy a new computer now or wait for a couple of more months. CK 1 1029442 Tom could hardly believe his ears when he heard that Mary was coming back home to stay. CK 1 2006576 Tom wears a modified fishing vest to hold all his harmonicas when he performs on stage. CK 1 3023219 We were worried that Tom might not make friends in Boston, but he seems to be doing OK. CK 1 2318251 I don't know if you've noticed, but Tom seems to have fallen in love with your daughter. CK 1 2331766 I had to change clothes because what I was wearing wasn't appropriate for the situation. CK 1 2042928 I told Tom the reason I didn't want to do it was that I didn't think it was a good idea. CK 1 1934740 I've been trying to explain to Tom that he can't keep coming in here without permission. CK 1 1095713 Tom called Mary and asked her to meet him for a drink at the bar across from his office. CK 1 2042929 Tom wanted to give you a surprise party, but I knew you'd hate it, so I told him not to. CK 1 2045887 You're not as beautiful as my ex-girlfriend, but you're a lot more fun to hang out with. CK 1 953254 English is quite often the language of choice when speaking to an international audience. CK 1 886912 She advised him to see the dentist, but he said that he didn't have enough time to do so. CK 1 909567 Since I have no children, I have more time to spend doing volunteer work than parents do. CK 1 1144603 Since Tom couldn't make a decent living as a nightclub musician, he had to get a day job. CK 1 388016 That man asked me who I was, but I didn't think it was necessary to answer that question. CK 1 3148344 Tom and Mary ran off to Boston and got married after knowing each other only a few weeks. CK 1 2582721 Tom and Mary were speaking in French, but switched to English when John entered the room. CK 1 1095580 Tom can't help wondering whether he would have been better off if he had gone to college. CK 1 1095471 Tom certainly had a point when he said we should allow more time to complete the project. CK 1 1027913 Tom told Mary that he was going to kill himself, but he didn't have the courage to do it. CK 1 1894767 Even though Tom translated the letter for Mary, she didn't bother to read his translation. CK 1 2042930 I know some of you want to go back to the way things were, but that's not going to happen. CK 1 2451051 If you want to really improve your French, you should move to a country where it's spoken. CK 1 1095995 Tom and Mary couldn't talk to each other then because they didn't speak a common language. CK 1 2046937 Tom and Mary have been too busy fighting to notice how much they actually like each other. CK 1
