Once my uncle didn’t have a beard, but now I can’t imagine him without it.

Straighten your back so that your posture is better.

This does not mean that the lesson will be easy.

So that there are no distractions, I turn off notifications and try not to get distracted by the chat.

Any traffic jam is an inconvenience for drivers.

The cake made yesterday was tasty.

At the meeting, the boss clarified the project deadline and asked whether we have a time reserve.

Adjust the brightness on the tablet, otherwise reading will be unpleasant.

My sister peeled an onion and a carrot, then smiled and said the soup would be better.

Hang the coat in the wardrobe so that the room is tidy.

I would go by car if there weren’t a traffic jam.

I need to correct a mistake in the report so that the grade will be higher.

The window was open, but the room is still stuffy.

In the evening I want there to be order in the house.

Tomorrow we are going to have a picnic in the park if the weather is good.

After the lesson we stopped by a gas station because there was almost no gasoline in the tank.

Tomorrow there will be a driving exam at the driving school, and I want to pass it on the first try.

Before the exam it’s worth checking whether there is gasoline in the tank and reviewing when to use the turn signal and how to brake.

If it is warm tomorrow, we will go to the central park by metro.

On a narrow road, the speed should be lower than on the highway.

The trip to the sea was better than I expected.

Tomorrow will be a new day, and I will try to do better again.

Yesterday, at the intersection, the traffic light wasn’t working, so the traffic was dangerous.

I liked her postcard, but my handwriting in the reply was so uneven that I rewrote the text.

There is always a small first-aid kit in my bag, and I check it before a trip.

On the webinar the sound was so quiet that I had to reset the settings and turn the sound on again.

I reset the settings once again, and it seems the problem was in the app.

Yesterday evening I was so lazy that I didn’t pay the bill right away.

The road was uneven, so we were driving slowly.

The next mortgage payment will be on the first, so I check the account in advance.

This landmark was closed, despite the fact that the website said otherwise.

I won’t drink soda today because I feel like having warm tea.

If there is a discount, I will buy cottage cheese at the supermarket.

If I have a high temperature again, it’s worth making an appointment with a doctor.

If I forget my jacket at home, I will be cold in the park.

There was a long line at the pharmacy, so I waited at the entrance.

In the bedroom the radiator was cold because the heating hasn’t been turned on yet.

In the bathroom the water drained poorly because there was a clog in the pipe.

That same day I submitted a second request because the outlet in the corridor didn’t work and an electrician was needed.

I needed to write down all the repair expenses so that later I could understand where I could save.

Yesterday I had to meet the plumber, but I stayed late at work.

I had to leave the key with a neighbor so the plumber could come in while I wasn’t at home.

The plumber said the clog was old and the pipe should have been cleared last winter.

I wasn’t allowed to leave the bathroom floor wet, so I wiped up the water right away.

The electrician arrived on time and explained that the problem was in an old cable.

After that I needed to check whether the phone was charging and whether the light was turning on.

Don’t put the drying rack by the door, otherwise it will be inconvenient to go out.

I will save money if I ride the metro instead of taking a taxi.

It’s worth washing the dishes after dinner so that there is order in the kitchen.

There was water on the bathroom floor, so I wiped it up with a rag.

It was humid outside, and the duvet cover dried longer than the pillowcase.

After the shower it was humid in the bathroom, so I opened the window and aired out the room.

If tomorrow is a free day, I will go to the museum by metro.

I will hang the pants in the wardrobe so that the room is tidy.

At night a small lamp is on in the hallway so that I am not afraid.

There was cinnamon in the filling, and the bun smelled very tasty.

I only had a large banknote, and I asked the saleswoman to break it.

If the bakery has the same bun tomorrow, I’ll buy another one and ask for more cinnamon in the filling.

After the appointment I will rinse my mouth with warm water.

This evening I will be hosting a webinar on the Russian language.

I’m not sure whether there will be a promotion this month.

The stairs were slippery too, and I held on to the handrail with both hands.

I didn’t have any nails, so I bought nails and screws at the store near the house.

I don’t like to complain about little things, but in this cafe the tea was barely warm.

In the restaurant we left a tip for the waitress because she was very polite.

I rarely leave tips, but this time the service was really excellent.

If I sleep well, it will be easier for me to figure out difficult questions on the exam.

She smiled and replied that I can pay back that debt later, when it is more convenient for me.

I won’t argue in the chat; I’ll call you later.

Security has a list of guests.

I didn’t manage to get enough sleep because it was noisy in the corridor.

Can I turn off the notifications on the phone so that it’s quiet at night?

I add onion to the minced meat so that the cutlets are tastier.

After the lesson, we stuck the heading on the board so everyone could see the topic.

I fastened the report with a paper clip, and my colleague used a stapler because there were many pages.

In the chat, it was unclear whether the seminar had been canceled or simply moved to the evening.

Although I had little time, I managed to cut out the pictures, fasten the pages, and come up with a new heading.

A warm sweater will come in handy if it is cold in the evening.

Before work I had nothing to eat except a banana and a pear.

The baking tray was too hot, and I had to put it on a towel.

In the small kitchen there was nowhere to cut vegetables, so I moved the bowl into the room.

If tomorrow I again have no time to cook, I will buy ready-made pancakes and kefir at the store.

It was just a misunderstanding, not a serious quarrel.

After the rain, there was a big puddle on the road, and there was mud all around.

The grass in the clearing was wet, and there was a bench under a birch tree.

Near the pine tree the grass was taller, and children were playing on the sand by the lake.

It was cold to sit on the wet grass, so we moved from the clearing to the dry sand by the water.

I did not get offended at my friend, because it was only a joke.

Tomorrow will be Wednesday, the sixth of March, and we will have a short lesson.

October was rainy, so my black umbrella was always with me.

February was short but very cold.

The poster had a yellow background, and the title of the play was written in gray letters.

On the twenty-third of November, we will have a family celebration.

On the fifteenth of April, I will have a day off.

On the sixth of June, we will have a meeting in the park.

Her cart was almost full, and the saleswoman put the cheese on the scales.

It was written on the price tag that the milk costs less than usual.

If this sale ends tomorrow, kefir will be more expensive again.

It would have been better for me to take a thermos of cocoa with me, because I almost froze at the bus stop.

The children wanted to build a snowman, although the snow was too wet.

It was slippery at the station, so the woman with the sled was walking very slowly.

If I wait for a long time at the bus stop without a scarf, I will freeze.

There was a word in parentheses in the letter, and I did not understand right away why it was there.

Although the message was short, my sister still corrected one capital letter and one lowercase letter.

Tomorrow we will have a dictation, so I want to review stressed and unstressed syllables once again.

We started negotiations not because there was a conflict, but because we wanted to understand each other better.

My female friend was among the candidates, and the employer especially praised her for her honest answers.

In this position, I will have simple duties: answer emails, take calls, and prepare documents.

On Monday we will have a meeting in the office.

The ointment soaked in quickly, and the bandage was no longer needed.

If the child has a high fever again, you need to call a doctor.

If you plant strawberries carefully and water them regularly, the harvest will be better.

Grandpa said that it would be warmer in the greenhouse, and that is why the tomatoes would give a good harvest earlier.

In the morning it was quiet under the apple tree; only the rake was lying on the grass after the work.

The hole was not really big, but without a needle and thread it could not be sewn up neatly.

Then I took a broom and a dustpan because there was dirt from the boots on the floor.

Although the day was long, I felt calmer when order appeared in the room again.

If it is warm tomorrow, we will go to the country house again and take a shovel, a watering can, and seeds with us.

Grandma said that it would be better to plant the raspberries farther from the apple tree because there is more sun there.

If it is cold at night, it is better to leave the seedlings on the windowsill.

When I was little, Mom used to cook semolina, and now I make semolina porridge myself.

After dinner, melon and peaches were left over, so breakfast was light in the morning.

It’s not that mashed potatoes are difficult, but without butter they turn out dry.

It’s not that pork is bad, but I like beef more.

I have not been to this new café even once, although I live nearby.

After such a conversation I was ashamed, because I realized that I was wrong.

If I turn out to be wrong again, I will say so right away so that you won’t feel hurt.

My daughter felt hurt that her friend left and said nothing.

Please don’t be embarrassed: your report really was very good.

It was crowded and stuffy in the carriage, so I unfastened my jacket as soon as I sat down.

One shoelace was wet and too long, and I had to stop by the bench.

After the walk I noticed that the sole of one sneaker was wet and dirty.

After the quarrel, it was hard for us to talk to each other again.

I left work a little early because I had a fever.

I don’t care which salon to choose, as long as it is near the house.

Today she had a straight parting, and tomorrow she wants to braid her hair again.

It’s not that I need new makeup every day, but a neat appearance gives confidence.

If I have time, I will sign up for yoga after work.

The white horse has a beautiful mane, and its hooves were wet after the rain.

One argument was not enough to convince my brother not to argue with the female boss.

I did not want to object, but I still had to prove that the delay was not my fault.

It was not a direct answer, but only a clear hint, and I understood everything at once.

Although the day was long, I felt calmer when we discussed everything calmly with each other.

If there is no traffic jam on the road, we will get to the station on time.

There will be a dangerous turn before the bridge, so it is better to drive more slowly.

I didn’t hear clearly what the teacher said because it was noisy in the corridor.

I didn’t realize right away that the door was closed.

If there is a discount, I will buy one more ticket to the concert.

In the morning, the nanny took the baby to the pediatrician because he had a cough during the night.

The doctor explained that formula should no longer be the only food, because it is time to introduce complementary food.

I practiced swaddling the baby neatly for a long time so that he would be warm and comfortable.

No matter how late it is, Mom first checks whether the window near the crib is closed.

It was hot in the shower room, so I took a quick shower and left.

I should probably go to bed earlier, otherwise in the morning I will have no strength for training.

Although the day was long, I am still glad that I bought a membership and did at least a short cardio session.

New grammar topic: the particle «пусть» can express concession: “Although pumpkin is sweet, soup made from it can still be very tasty.”

When the soup was ready, Mom took a ladle and poured it into the bowls.

Grandpa rolled out the dough with a rolling pin and said that the pie would be thin.

If you add a little flour, the sauce will be thicker.

No matter how late it is, I still check whether the cat has water, food, and a clean litter box.

It was cold on the platform, so I decided not to wait outside and went down into the passage.

In autumn I rarely wear boots, but today without them it would have been uncomfortable.

On Friday we will have a pass/fail test in history, so today I am reviewing the dates.

After a failed test, he will have a retake at the end of the month, while I never ended up going to the retake because I managed to pass everything earlier.

Between lectures we stop by the snack bar and get a cup of tea each, but today there was no kefir in the snack bar.

In the summer we will have practical training at a school, and during the practicum my female friend will work with children and write reports.

Yesterday I somehow managed to finish reading the draft report because I was very tired.

Overall, this movie turned out to be interesting, although the beginning was boring.

It’s not that this error was serious, but it’s better to correct it.

It is better to move the call to the evening if you will be busy in the morning.

Something in the kitchen started smoking because the oil was too hot.

One employee put on a mask because the smoke in the corridor was too thick.

Fortunately, there were no injured people, and the alarm turned out to be a drill.

There was a nest in the tree, and Mom asked us to speak more quietly.

The chicken had a wet feather on its tail because it had rained in the morning.

In winter, we hang a bird feeder by the window so that birds can find food more easily.

After the fall, it was painful for me to walk.

I will hardly be able to concentrate if the room is this noisy.

Before dinner, it is worth thawing the fish if there is nothing else in the freezer.

The old gate was open.

The big gates were closed.

There is a small café next to the square.

There were many yellow leaves on the alley.

After the rain, the lawn was wet but very green.

Although the solo was short, it was exactly that which the audience remembered.

The female investigator thinks that every female suspect must have a motive.

The female investigator understood that the crime was not accidental.

The heroine had a guess, but there was still no evidence.

Now I understand what seemed strange to me at the beginning: the female witness had too calm a face.

Those who love such stories often discuss who had the strongest alibi and the clearest motive.

This character remained my favorite not because he was right, but because he honestly searched for the truth.

It was an accidental scratch.

His answer was convincing.

He admitted that he was wrong.

Before going to sleep, I really should clear the plasticine and the sketchbook off the table so that the room is tidy in the morning.

My sister took shorts with her because it will be hot at the dacha.

This cap is new, but it seems to me that the old one was more comfortable.

At the concert, she was wearing a hat, and after the concert she put the hat into a large bag.

I took only mascara and lipstick because it was already hot outside.

It’s not that I need perfume every day, but sometimes I still feel like stopping by the salon after work.

For lunch I made lentil soup because there was no meat at home.

Although kiwi and mango were expensive, I still bought them for the smoothie.

After the conversation, I had to acknowledge that I was wrong.

I opened the vent window because it was stuffy in the kitchen.

At night the vent window was closed, but the room was still cool.

I put the bags in the trunk so that there would be more space inside the car.

Because of the slush, it was dirty by the entrance, and we spent a long time wiping our shoes.

It drizzled all day, so the park was almost empty.

I soaked the shirt in water because there was a stain on the shirt.

It was stuffy inside the car, so I opened the window.

If it is cold outside, I will put on a warm sweater.

I need to finish the report today, otherwise tomorrow will be too late.

I couldn’t get through to my sister for a long time because her sound was turned off.

We had to finish baking the pie because the middle was still raw.

If I don’t finish learning this rule now, tomorrow the lesson will be hard for me.

We can meet anywhere, as long as it is quiet there.

Don’t frown; it was only a small mistake.

One nod was enough, and we understood each other without words.

We can choose any movie, as long as it is not too boring.

It said in the email that the verification code would arrive in a minute.

There was only a photograph on the first slide, and a clear chart on the second.

Although there were both mango and pear on the table, my son took only a banana.

Even if the store has only pumpkin, kiwi, and mango, I will still be able to make something tasty.

There was an old fan in the hotel, but they never turned on the air conditioner there.

In the morning we walked to the pier, and from there an old lighthouse was visible.

From the pier, you could see a boat slowly floating near the lighthouse.

I don’t care what the hotel room is like, as long as it’s possible to sit on the balcony in the evening at least a little and hear the surf.

The downpour was so strong that I put on a raincoat and still got soaked.

If it rains again tomorrow, I will take a raincoat and a cap.

There were so many people in the store that I never got to try on the shoes.

Her purse was so small that even an umbrella did not fit into it.

This morning it was cloudier than yesterday, so I took an umbrella.

There was white icing on the cake and a few nuts.

Grandma said that the yeast has to be fresh, otherwise the dough won’t rise.

My daughter chose a doughnut because it had bright sprinkles.

There were chocolate sprinkles on the pastry, and the children immediately wanted more.

Compared with the first half, the second was calmer.

If the referee awards a penalty, the goalkeeper must be especially attentive.

After the match, the goalkeeper said that the first goal had been accidental.

Although the day was long, in the evening I felt calmer when I watered the cactus and turned off the phone.

Wherever my friend is, he still writes to me in the evening.

There was water on the old spiderweb, and a little beetle was nearby.

There was a big anthill by the tree, and the children decided not to go near it.

It was quiet on the alley, but one crow was still flying above the lawn.

Wet boots were standing by the threshold because there was a big puddle by the gate.

Although there was one crow in the sky, my daughter still looked only at the seagull by the water.

My daughter had a small rash on her neck, but by evening it went away.

At our faculty there will be a lecture today that everyone has been talking about for a long time.

There was a lot of dampness in the old house, so a stain appeared on the wall.

If the charcoal is damp, it will be hard to light the grill.

On one skewer there were vegetables, and on the other there were pieces of meat for the shashlik.

When everything was ready, we laid out the food on the blanket and opened the thermos of tea.

If only the rain started only at night and it were dry and warm during the day.

If only we had more dry firewood and one more camp pot for the soup.

Although the trip was long, compared with last summer this rest turned out calmer.

After the rain, the bench was damp.

When the coals are ready, we will grill vegetables on the grate.

Although it was cold at night, we were warm by the campfire.

I wish tomorrow were a day off.

The trip to the sea was long, but it was worth it.

When we got into the carriage, there was only one free seat by the window.

I still managed to convince my brother to move to another carriage: there was not a single free seat in the first one.

Although the day was long, I still finished reading the email to the end and finally understood what they wanted from me.

Tech support said that the problem was in the app.

The conference is taking place in the same hall where the lecture was yesterday.

If it is warm on Sunday, we will go for a walk along the quiet alley.

I will take shorts, a cap, and sandals to the dacha, as long as it is comfortable to walk.

At the market, the sweet cherries were more expensive than I expected, but my daughter still asked for some.

If there is such a breakdown again, I will call the dispatcher immediately.

This rate is higher than it was last month.

The cake had white icing and chocolate sprinkles.

There were puff pastries and a sweet roll at the bakery.

If only I had more time to take care of the flowers calmly in the mornings.

If it is warm, the bud will open tomorrow.

If it is warm, the rose will bloom soon.

Put on a warmer scarf: it will be windy by the river in the evening.

Today I took a warmer jacket because it was cloudy in the morning.

I have been to this museum only once.

According to the memo, the documents must be submitted today, and contrary to my expectations, the line was short.
