Answer 1

The Chinese are said to be so clever that they discovered gunpowder long before it was known in Europe.

Galileo Galilei was persecuted because he believed that the earth revolved around the sun.

As soon as she receives the letter, she will read it to us, too.

I asked the old man who was sitting on the bench, if he was hungry.

When Christopher Columbus discovered America, he thought that the country which he discovered was India, and he accordingly named it the name of the West Indies.

I will not go to bed until father comes home from the factory.

Last year you played tennis much better than your brother does now.

It's high time you answered these questions.

I don't know precisely whether I am going on this trip next week.

Tom was promised that fishing every everything would be ready in due time.

When I was young, I went to Sunday school.

I'll let them know that we are getting a new car soon.

Did you know that Mary has two sons?

Your sister spoke English as if she had been in England for several years.

This is the dress which Mary bought last week and which she is wearing still now.

I wish my brother were here now to help me.

I promised the little child that I would buy a new toy the next day.

When I went to the bookshop two days ago, I saw a book which my sister is reading now.

I would rather you not tell them my secret.

When I looked out of the window, I saw that my daughter was playing with the doll, while my son was chasing after a cat.

I am sure our friend will read this text after she has learned the new words.

That morning Jane went to school only after she had drunk a big glass of milk.

I no sooner saw his face than I recognized his name, too.

We haven't heard anything about her since she moved to London.

Only then she realized that I was right!

This time tomorrow, we will be watching TV while you are studying for your exam.

Last week I ate three ice creams, but this week I have eaten only one.

When Bob was little, he played with his toys for hours.

Have you already finished all the exercises?

Nothing annoyed me so much as the discovery that my best friend lied to me.
