Running down the street, the truck hit the boy.

To stay healthy, you need to do two things; eat well and exercise.

Yesterday we ate dinner and then we went to the movies.

Neither the police nor Bob know the criminal.

Each of us have a textbook for this course.

The girl, as well as the boys in the school, studies very late.

The professor taught Mary and I.

She dived in the water last night.
