By the time I got to the party, everyone ............... already ............... (go) home. I felt like such a loser!

She ............... (wait) for 15 minutes in the snow for the bus before it arrived.

The police asked the suspect if he ............... (drink) all day when they found him in the park.

Nancy ............... never ............... (think) that she would ever learn to drive, so when she finally passed her test, she was very proud!

She ............... never ............... (see) such a handsome man before, so she asked him out on a date.

They ............... never ............... (be) so scared in their lives when they got lost in the middle of the night in the jungle!

I ............... (hope) for many years that I would get the chance to write a book

We ............... (look) for over an hour before we finally found a parking place downtown.

When we got to the dinner party, everyone ............... already ............... (start) eating.

When we got to the concert, it ............... already ............... (start). We missed the first half hour!

It ............... (rain) for over an hour before it finally cleared up.

I was so happy to see my old friend because I ............... (not see) him for many years!
