<li>It is already 9:30 PM and I (wait) have been waiting here for over an hour. If John does not get here in the next five minutes, I am going to leave.</li>
<li>I was really angry at John yesterday. By the time he finally arrived, I (wait) had been waiting for over an hour. I almost left without him.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Did you hear that Ben was fired last month? He (work) had been working for that import company for more than ten years and he (work) had worked in almost every department. Nobody knew the company like he did.</li>
<li>I (see) had seen many pictures of the pyramids before I went to Egypt. Pictures of the monuments are very misleading. The pyramids are actually quite small.</li>
<li>Sarah (climb) has climbed the Matterhorn, (sail) has sailed around the world, and (go) has gone on safari in Kenya. She is such an adventurous person.</li>
<li>Sarah (climb) had climbed the Matterhorn, (sail) had sailed around the world and (go) had gone on safari in Kenya by the time she turned twenty-five. She (experience)had experienced more by that age than most people do in their entire lives.</li>

My English is really getting better. I (try) have been trying to learn the language since 1985, but only recently have I been able to make some real progress. By the time I started high school in 1988, I (study) had been studying the language for almost three years; however, I was only able to introduce myself and utter a few memorized sentences. For a couple more years, I (struggle) struggled through grammar and vocabulary lessons, which made absolutely no difference. Nothing worked, so I decided to study abroad.<a name='more'></a></div>

I found an exchange program in England that sounded like the perfect answer. I (stay) stayed with a host family for one month. It was a huge disappointment! I (sit) sat there the whole time staring at the host mother and father hoping that there would be some breakthrough. Nothing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I returned, I mentioned to a friend that I (have) had been having problems with the language for years. He recommended that I spend a year in an English speaking country. I decided to go abroad again. I (research) researched exchange programs for a couple of weeks and finally decided on a school in the United States.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, it worked. I (live) have been living and (study) have been studying in the U.S. for more than two years. I (stay) am staying here for at least another year before I return home. By then, I should be completely fluent.</div>
