Billy, please stop TRYING TO ATTRACT PEOPLE'S ATTENTION and sit down quietly!

Last night was the first time Ken HAD TALKED about his feelings.

I took a pair of scissors and cut off a chunk of my hair in front of my friends. I'm not sure why - maybe I was just TRYING TO ATTRACT ATTENTION.

The three men ESCAPED in a stolen car.

At school he DID the bare minimum amount of work and DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS.

No one ADMITTED (to) breaking the window.

The siege ended peacefully after the gunman ALLOWED THE POLICE TO TAKE HIM AS PRISONER.

Someone OPENED MY CAR USING FORCE and stole my bag.

I kept saying I hadn't done it and I almost believed it in the end. I thought I'd MANAGED TO DO IT WITHOUT BEING PUNISHED/CRITIZED, but my mum told me recently she'd always known.

Someone FORCED THE WAY INTO his apartment last night.

He’s trying to AVOID tidying his room.

I remember when my neighbour CAME and knocked on my door a year ago. She said she wanted flour because she DIDN'T HAVE ANY.
