My boyfriend gave me a gift.

Everyone was surprised by the news.

He is always good at making witty remarks.

He got drunk and threw up all over the room.

He often tells lies.

He was complaining that the exam was difficult.

He let his anger get the best of him and uttered harsh words.

She always speaks ill of others, as if she's spitting poison.

I saw a grebe in the pond at the park.

He ran up the stairs and was out of breath.
