The factory workers ...... paid all their salaries this month as the factory has recently suffered a significant decrease in sales and it's likely they will not have the financial resources to pay the amounts in full.

Some of the poorest families ...... a merry Christmas this year as they possibly won't have enough money to provide for the food.

The Indian girls ...... to our New Year Eve's party as they probably won't be in Scotland at the time. If they, however, decide to stay here, they will turn up for sure.

The famous footballer ...... to jail after all. They say there's been a mysterious witness who saw another man commit the crime.

The local team ...... the last match as their star seems to have suffered some injury to his left knee. It's possibly he won't be able to play this season anymore.

The referee ...... at every dubious tackle, but he certainly keeps a good eye on all the players.

Our next-door neighbour ...... in the garden now. I can hear some voices coming from his kitchen. He lives alone, by the way.

The social workers ...... you if you don't accept their help in the first place.

Single mothers bringing up their children on their own ...... out nearly as much as mothers who've got a husband to look after the children while they're out.

The right job candidates ...... to sit at the desk the whole time. They must be prepared to travel the country to do business all over the place.

The vast majority of people ...... why the taxes should go up again. There was a tax increase last year too.

The local traffic wardens ...... drivers and fine them. They are only allowed to stick parking tickets to the windscreens of parked cars.
