1. - It's a great pity you didn't come to Brighton with us last Saturday. As you had never seen the sea before, it would have been a new experience for you.

2. - By the time I complete my studies next month, I'll have been living in London for nearly a year. I don't think I'll stay any longer after that.

3. - It's odd that you've mentioned his name. I was just thinking about him and wondering what had become of him.

4. - I would not call on him just yet if I were you, as I don't think he has got home from work.

5. - He said he wished he had been able to see you before he left. He would have liked to say goodbye personally. He hoped you would accept his apologies.

6. - Are you sure there is no one in the room next door? I could swear I heard someone talking in there.

7. - 'Mr Smith hasn't worked here for four years. Are you sure you've got the right name?' 'Quite sure. He rang me only yesterday, and I would certainly not have come here if he hadn't asked me to.'

8. - Not until we had arrived at his house did we discover that he was on holiday, and that we had wasted our time in calling on him.

9. - It didn't take very long to get here after all. We needn't have taken a taxi. We could have saved the money we spent and (we could have) had dinner on the train.

10. - It's high time you made up your mind about choosing a career. If you don't decide soon, you'll never settle down to anything.

11. - The blackmailer didn't realise that the police had been informed of his activities, and that his victim had been asked to go on talking to him while the call was being traced.

12. - You'll hardly believe it, but that's the third time tonight someone has telephoned me and then apologised for getting the wrong number. The next time the phone rings I won't answer.
