From time to time, I get really nervous and bite my nails during tests. What can I do?
Occasionally, sometimes.
I have cheese twice a day, for both breakfast and dinner. It’s only a matter of time before my cholesterol goes up.
Certain to happen at some point in the near future.
I waste a lot of time reading readers’ comments when I read the newspaper online. I don’t know why!
Don't use time well.
I never seem to finish my exams because I keep going over my answers. Maybe if I time myself while taking practice exams it will help.
Measure how long I take to do something.
I always eat too quickly! My mother was always saying, “Take your time. Where’s the fire?”
Don't hurry.
like to pass the time just looking out the window. I know I should be doing my homework, instead!
spend time.
I’m almost never on time in the morning. And so I’m never in time for my first class!
on schedule - early enough for something
I’m always telling my sister to run so we can get to the bus stop in no time. And then, of course, we wait and wait while I tell her the bus is coming any time now.
fast - any moment
For some time, I’ve been playing computer games every night until two or three in the morning. I always feel exhausted when I’m at work!
for quite a long period of time
When I was a teenager I always used to listen to rap music. At the time, it really got on my dad’s nerves.
In those days
My husband says I never make time for him. I suppose I should go to the soccer game with him occasionally.
organize your time for someone/something.
Our city has been demolishing old movie theaters one at a time. It’s so sad.
