It has been ringing for more than twenty minutes. I understood Swedish when I was a child, but I have forgotten it all. Have you had an accident? I’m sorry, John’s not here; he has gone to the dentist. He has been having trouble with a tooth for some time. This cassette recorder is broken. Have you been playing about with it? Have you been studying it long? Have you had enough to eat? Ann has never gone camping. She has not slept in a tent. We have been waiting for you since 1 p.m. I’m not surprised he has failed that exam. He has not been working hard recently.
