1 The sports car in the showroom is too expensive for us to afford
2 To be honest, I didn't understand a word he said
3 I had no choice but to apologize to the manager
4 It makes no difference whether he'll come or not
5 By a stroke of luck, the train hadn't left when I arrived
6 I said nothing for fear of offending her
7 She took a lot of trouble to prepare the party
8 The dentist's name is on the tip of my tongue
9 She had second thoughts about applying for a scholarship
10 There is no point in studying a language without practicing it
