Time

  1. I'm afraid we're out of time today. We'll resume where we left off next Monday.
  2. He was really pressed for time. He had an hour's worth of work to do and only 45 minutes left before the last train left at midnight.
  3. His boss was continually telling him not to fritter away the time left in the budget on small insignificant details.
  4. I had a look at the itinerary you've written up for your trip to the United States and I see that you haven't allotted any time for sleeping.
  5. I'd love to meet you and talk about the old days. We just got to agree on a time and a place. When are you free?
  6. Perhaps the reason why my son's a drug addict and my wife left me is because I didn't devote enough time to them.
  7. Time's up. This Norae-pang rents the rooms out by the hour. We'll have to pay for another hour if we want to keep singing.
  8. I've decided to quit my job and take some time to see the world..
  9. We've used up the time alloted to this stage of the project. We'll have to ask for more time.
  10. I thought we had ample time. We ended up running out of time a lot sooner than I expected.
  11. My parents planned for a time in the future when their children were grown-up and they could retire to the country, but my mother died at a young age and my father remarried and started having children again. Things turned out a lot different from what we expected.
  12. I had a delightful time! We should do it again next time you're in town! (get together for drinks or go out to dinner together)
  13. Hal just dragged on and on with his presentation. I wish he had been brief and to the point. We all have work to do.
  14. Time just flew by, we were having so much fun.
