Example Sentences

"Once on the ground, the plane was handed to the Airport Police. Investigations are ongoing," Ng Eng Hen wrote.

From BBC

Two of the home’s earliest owners, Russell and Elise Bauman, had “ruined two Cadillacs, a van and a pickup” hauling loads of “bowling-ball-sized river rocks” to build a waterfall, koi pond and pathway with multiple switchbacks that climbed almost to the top of the slope, said their youngest son, Kevin L. Eng, a health-care attorney now living in Santa Clarita.

Eng said he and his stepbrother Scott Bauman were tasked with helping his stepfather unload rocks from the car to the backyard and up the steep slope from the time Kevin was 7 in 1976 until he was 18.

“They got a lot of joy out of that backyard,” recalled Eng.

One of the reasons his parents sold the property around 2000 was because of the water costs, Eng said.
