During the spring, there are buds on the trees. In the summer, the trees are covered with green leaves. In the fall, they have leaves that are many colors. Only during the winter season are the trees bare.

The store owner saw that no one was buying tomatoes at $1.39 a pound. He reduced the price by 39 cents, and more people started to buy tomatoes.
Lowered
My mother said that she wanted to wrap the leftover food in a plastic bag. She said that plastic bags are good for wrapping food because they are transparent, so she can see what is inside.

One day, the king's soldiers brought in a man who had killed the king's horse. The queen begged the king to have mercy. The horse had almost killed a young girl, and the man had saved her life by killing the horse. The king had mercy and set the man free.
Pity
I visited my uncle's horse ranch. He takes good care of his horses. He brushes their manes and bodies until they are clean and sleek.
Soft and smooth
My brother decided to bake a cake for my father's birthday. The cake turned out to be perfect, but my mother was very cross with my brother. The reason she was cross was that he did not clean up the mess he had made while fixing the cake.
Angry
We found an old hut in the woods. There was a couch in it. The couch was so shabby that we did not sit on it. It did not look like it could hold us up without breaking in two!
Worn out
When people go camping, they follow many rules. If they are not careful, they spoil the parks. Some parks do not permit people to camp. That is because they do not want people to damage the trees or leave garabe around.
Allow
The man who came toward me had a bandage across his forehead. I could also see many scratches on his body. He fainted in my arms. The attack by the wild beast was not fatal, so the man lived to tell us his story.
Deadly
Lenny was late for his club meeting. He ran out of the house and slammed the door. He left in such haste that he forgot to take the key. Boy, was he sorry when he got home and found that he had locked himself out!
a hurry
I was a passenger on a plane last week. The plane was supposed to land in London. It was too foggy to land in that city. The plans were altered and we landed in Paris instead.
Changed
When the door to my room is closed, I can't hear what's going on downstairs. If I leave my door wide open, it is too noisy. That is why I leave the door ajar. That way, it is not too noisy, and I can also hear what is going on downstairs.
A little open
When ships come too close to the shore, they risk being damaged by rocks. The rocks are beneath the surface of the water. A lighthouse signals the ships. It warns them to move away from the land.
Sends a message
The puppy was very small. When my mother picked it up, the puppy was frightened. It began to wriggle. After a while, it felt safer and lay still.
Twist and turn
Many things we use around the house are adhesive. I used adhesive tape to wrap a present. The glue I used to fix a cup that I broke is also adhesive. All the band-aids are, too. If they weren't, they wouldn't stay on.
Sticky
Marianne, Judy, and I went to the handball court very early on Sunday morning. We played for three hours and finally had to stop. We were so weary that we could barely move.
Very tired
The stairs in the house are made of wood. One of the stairs was so decayed that it fell through and broke into pieces when I stepped on it.
Rotted
Last summer, Linda, Kathy, and Betty talked about taking a trip across the US. They were going to take turns driving the car. First, they got all the maps that they needed. Then, the girls plotted out the routes on which they would drive.
Planned
There is a vacant lot across the street from where I live. My friends and I use it as a playground because nothing is built on it. The only game we can't play there is "hide and seek" because there is nothing to hide behind.
Empty
My favorite circus act is the acrobats who swing high in the air. One acrobat would let go of the swing, flip over, and then seize the hands of the other acrobat. I'm glad that he didn't fall.
Grab
My brother and I always used to fight over the TV. We asked our parents to buy another TV. They said that if we continued to quarrel, they would get rid of the one we had. Now, we take turns watching TV.
Fight
My brother and I have. jobs to do at home. One day, I wash the dishes, and he takes out the garbage. The next day, we switch. If we neglect to do our jobs, we remind each other.
Forget
Bob asked Jane to go to a party. She said that she wasn't sure that she could go. Then, Bod asked Debbie if she should go with him. Debbie said, "Yes." Then Jane called Bob and said yes, too. For Bob, this was a dilemma.
Problem
When I was 3 years old, my family took a vacation and drove across the US. I don't remember too many things that happened. The things that I do remember are vague.
Not clear
The little boy was new in the group. When we gave out the fruit during recess, I could tell that he wanted some. He did not ask for any because he was too timid.
