ഉദാഹരണങ്ങൾ.
Have you already breakfasted? Yes, I breakfasted at
8 o'clock. What had you for breakfast? I had a cup of
coffee, and some bread and butter. I always drink a glass
of milk at breakfast. There is no water in the bottle, will
you be kind enough to fetch a little? Here is a cup of
chocolate for you; will you tell me if it is sweet enough?
It is quite sweet enough; it is rather too sweet; I do not
take much sugar. The wine seems to be sour. I am
very thirsty; I must have a glass of water. That glass
of water has quite refreshed me. I will go with you and
take a cup of coffee. Have you already heard, that my
father has sold his grey horse? No, why has he sold it?
It was too old; it was not spirited enough for him. We
have never had a better cow than this one. Our cat has
just caught a mouse. There are a great many mice in the
house, especially in the cellar. The dog is a faithful
friend to man. The wool of our sheep is not good; we
must buy another sort. The oxen have eaten all the hay.
The calves feed beside the cows on the meadows. That
poor man has broken his arm and his legs. Clever people
generally have a high forehead Has the child already
teeth? No, it has no teeth yet; it is still too young, it is
only three months and a few days old. I shall be happy,
if dinner is ready, for I feel awfully hungry. I shall have
a good appetite, I suppose. Your coat will be ready by
tomorrow, so you will have it just in time. Will you be
at home tomorrow? No, I shall not be at home, at least
not in the morning. That old man will soon have grey
hairs. Are the clothes of my children ready? No, sir,
