| Any news of Tim? | He's coming home soon. | |
| Haven't you finished it yet? | I've only just begun it, as a matter of fact. | |
| It looks like rain, I'm afraid. | Perhaps it would be better to stay at home in that case. | |
| I've had it six years now. | You'll be buying a new one soon, I imagine. | |
| Whyever bring a mac? | It was raining when I left this morning. | |

| I really must go now. | I do hope you have a comfortable journey. | |
| It's all so discouraging. | I know exactly how you feel. | |
| Sorry I haven't returned it yet. | That's quite all right. I'm in no particular hurry for it. | |
| I've already been waiting a year. | Then surely a few more days won't make much difference. | |
| It's an absolute scandal. | There's no need to get so worked up about it. | |
| I do wish he'd mind his own business. | But he was only trying to be helpful. | |
| What's happened to Jack? | It's always the same. He's hardly ever on time. | |

| It was my treat. | How much was it? | |
| How big did you say it was? | Oh, why don't you listen, Charley? | |
| Three thousand he paid for it. | When will the poor fool learn wit? | |
| Did you call, Frank? | Yes, what's the time please? | |
| I have to go out now. | When will you be back, d'you think? | |
| General questions (sounding plaintive, pleading, sometimes impatient) | ||
| Perhaps I could help. | Do you think you соuld? | |

| I really must go. | Please stay a little longer. | |

| Exclamations (warm, sympathetic, encouraging, plaintive, puzzled, surprised) | ||
| I've invited him for tea. | Jolly good! Good show! | |
| That's the second time he's failed. | Poor old Peter! | |
