Life is full of the unexpected.
By the time I got up, my brother had already gotten in the shower.
When I got to school, I realized I had left my backpack at home.
I overslept.
Luckily, W's dad saw me on the street and gave me a lift in his car.
I went to my favorite coffee place even though it was two blocks east from my office.
As I was waiting in line with other office workers, I heard a loud sound.
He is a hard worker and a skilled gardener.
We stare in disbelief at the black smoke rising above the burning building.
He stared at me in disbelief.
We were flying above the clouds.
When I arrived, one of the vehicles was still burning.
I felt lucky to be alive.
I jumped out of bed and went straight to the airport.
The other planes were full so I had to wait till the next day.
Rain is spreading from the west.
I put cream in the coffee.
I completed the work for my boss. The workday ended.
My mother finished making the apple pie.
He didn't show up until midnight.
When he put the noodles into a bowl, he realized he had forgotten to add the green beans.
In the morning, it is crowded in the market.
by the end of the school day
A, B and C are talking about April Fool's Day.
A friend invited him to a costume party.
He was really embarrassed.
One April Fool's Day, a reporter in England announced that there would be no more spaghetti because the spaghetti farmers in Italy had stopped growing spaghetti.
Many people ran to their local supermarkets to buy as much spaghetti as they could.
By the time people realized that the story was a hoax, all of the spaghetti across the country had been sold out.
Football games often sell out well in advance.
