3. After removing a sod, I umpired the rest of the football match
4. The engineer is an old pro toning down systems for everybody's use
5. An apple a day keeps the doctor away
6. The corn on the cob altered my view; I really was hungry
7. Let's have a game of one on one
8. I was afraid that they would see the fossil I concealed
9. With the budgerigar gone, it suddenly sounded more peaceful
10. We added basil very slowly to the boiling soup
11. The suite was deluxe; none of us could afford it though
