First things first, let's prioritize our tasks for today.

I need to make things right with my girlfriend.

I need to have a conversation with him to set things straight.

I don't like horror movies or anything like that.

I ate the whole thing.

Here's the thing , I need you to help me move.

Sure thing! I'll be there on time.

It was a near thing, but I managed to catch the last train.

I narrowly avoided hitting the car in front of me. It was a close thing.

The first thing I do in the morning is make a cup of coffee.
