Dame Trot and her cat
Sat down for a chat;
The dame sat down on this side
And puss sat on that.
Puss, says the Dame,
Can you catch a rat,
Or mouse in the dark?
Purr, says the cat.
Our teacher makes us do homework every evening.
The kitchen windows need cleaning.
They have begun to make preparation for the party.
He advised her to speak to her boss.
I dislike going to the theater alone.
Mr Roberts was seen to leave his house at 12.15 last night.
My sister can't stand watching horror films.
Can you imagine spending your holidays on the moon?
There's no point in calling again.
I don't allow people to smoke in my house.
It was silly of you to forget to lock the door.
He risks losing his wallet when he leaves it on his desk.
2. Sam got to the station just in time to catch the train to the airport. If he had missed the train, he would have missed his flight.
3. I'm glad that you reminded me about Amanda's birthday. I would have forgotten if you hadn't reminded me.
4. Unfortunately I forgot my address book when I went on holiday. If I'd had your address, I would have sent you a postcard.
5. A: How was your holiday? Did you have a nice time?
B: It was OK, bu we would have enjoyed it more if the weather had been nicer.
6. I took a taxi to the hotel, but the traffic was bed. It would have been quicker if I had walked.
7. I'm not tired. If I were tired, I'd go home now.
<span>8. I wasn't tired last night. If I had been tired, I would have gone home earlier.

The earliest report of a monster in the vicinity of Loch Ness appears in the Life of St. Columba by Adomnán, written in the sixth century AD (year 565). According to Adomnán, writing about a century after the events described, Irish monk Saint Columba was staying in the land of the Picts with his companions when he encountered local residents burying a man by the River Ness. They explained that the man was swimming in the river when he was attacked by a "water beast" which mauled him and dragged him underwater. Although they tried to rescue him in a boat, he was dead. Columba sent a follower, Luigne moccu Min, to swim across the river. The beast approached him, but Columba made the sign of the cross and said: "Go no further. Do not touch the man. Go back at once." The creature stopped as if it had been "pulled back with ropes" and fled, and Columba's men and the Picts gave thanks for what they perceived as a miracle.
Believers in the monster point to this story, set in the River Ness rather than the loch itself, as evidence for the creature's existence as early as the sixth century. Sceptics question the narrative's reliability, noting that water-beast stories were extremely common in medieval hagiographies and Adomnán's tale probably recycles a common motif attached to a local landmark. According to sceptics, Adomnán's story may be independent of the modern Loch Ness Monster legend and became attached to it by believers seeking to bolster their claims. According to R. Binns, this account is the most credible of the early sightings of the monster; all other claims before 1933 are dubious and do not prove a tradition of sightings before that date.
