Because I was late

She finished her homework

While the rain fell

After the movie ended

The dog barked loudly

I went to the store

Although it was raining

The sun is shining

After the show ended

The students cheered

While the teacher spoke

If you need help

Because she studied hard

She passed the exam

She studied hard

Passed the exam

The phone rang loudly.

If you call me, I will answer.

The old house on the hill.

To finish the project.

The book

That you lent me

Was fascinating

You lent me

Running through the park

She felt free

Through the park

Felt free

The children played outside.

I will go if it stops raining.

The red balloon floated away.

The teacher smiled.
