1. She should not remind him of his (this) mistake. It was so long ago. 2. I'm sorry you didn't come to see him off. You should have put off everything. 3. You should not have told him the news. He is very upset now. 4. I'm sorry, I ought not to have said that. 5. She must be angry with me. I should not have spoken to her so sharply. 6. I knocked several times before he let me in. "Why were you slow in opening the door?" I asked. 7. Our teacher happened to be passing at that moment. 8. I happen to know the man. 9. How did you happen to get lost (to lose your way) yesterday? 10. You seem to know everybody here. 11. He seems to like his profession. 12. John might have stayed at home and spent the evening with his wife, but he went to see his friends just the same. 13. "You might offer me a chair." -"Oh, I'm so sorry." 14. You might have warned me beforehand. I would have come earlier. 15. "They might have given me that watchman's job. They gave it to someone else."

1. "You must be very careful at work and not break the rules (any rules)," the foreman said to Carrie. "If you are not quick enough, you may injure your fingers." 2. Day had broken but Carrie could not get to sleep (could not sleep). She had a headache and she was shivering all over. The weather had been cold and wet all week long (the whole week) and she had no suitable clothes. No wonder she had caught a cold. "I'd better stay at home. I'm quite unable to go to work," Carrie thought. "And what if I am sacked (fired) and have to hunt (look) for a job again?" She shuddered at the thought. 3. Carrie was a pretty girl, and always attracted attention. However, she could not afford to dress well, and she lacked good manners. 4. One day she got acquainted with a young man. He was well dressed and made a deep impression on her. He promised to get in touch with her as soon as he was back from a business trip. 5. Two weeks had passed and Carrie had had no message from him yet. "I wish I could see him soon," thought Carrie. 6. At last the welcome letter came. With trembling hands she opened the envelope. 7.'Drouet suggested that Carrie should leavs her sister and rent a room. He was ready to pay all the expenses until Carrie found suitable work. 8. Carrie hesitated for a while, but then she accepted his help. 9. Carrie lacked the courage to tell her sister that she was leaving her, and she wrote her a note. 10. When Minnie read the note, she burst into tears. "I'm to blame for what has happened. We ought to have treated her with more consideration. Poor Carrie!" 11. "You are not.to blame for anything (it's not your fault)," her husband said to her. "We did all we could for her". 12. After Avis had spoken to the lawyer and the witnesses who gave evidence at the trial she understood that Ernest was right. Jackson was in no way to blame and should

have got damages. He had lost the case as the company employed efficient lawyers who knew which side their bread was buttered on. 13. Everhard had no doubt that Colonel Ingram was good at cross-examination, and that Jackson was unable to prove that right was on his side. 14. He had bad luck. The bus broke down and he missed the last train.
