Parliament went into its long summer recess. The judge called a short recess. I believe kids need more recess time. A recess for books. He stared into the dark recesses of the room.

The hearing was recessed for the weekend. The lights should be recessed into the ceiling.

He yelled at the other driver. They yelled with excitement. She yelled out in pain. He yelled for help.

They were very sniffy about letting us in without jackets.

We all had colds and couldn't stop sniffing and sneezing. Sniffing the fresh morning air. ‘It's hardly what I'd call elegant,’ she sniffed.

She took a deep sniff of the perfume. The sniff of power went to his head. They make threats but back down at the first sniff of trouble. She didn't get even a sniff at a medal.

The government's proposals unleashed a storm of protest in the press.

A layer of gritty dust. Gritty determination. A gritty performance from the British player. A gritty description of urban violence.

A wise and virtuous man. She lived an entirely virtuous life. He was feeling virtuous because he had finished and they hadn't.

He was trapped in a vicious circle of addiction and petty crime. She can't see any way to break out of this vicious circle.

The area is under threat from the sheer number of tourists using it. We were impressed by the sheer size of the cathedral. The concert was sheer delight. I only agreed out of sheer desperation. Sheer cliffs/slopes. Sheer nylon.

The cliffs rise sheer from the beach. The ground dropped sheer away at our feet.

She was overcome with grief when her husband died. Her grief for her dead husband. It was a grief to them that they had no children. He caused his parents a lot of grief.

There was no way of consoling her grief-stricken family.

She looked fashionably grungy in a pair of biker boots and an army print coat.

They had been forced to scrap plans for a new school building. The oldest of the aircraft were scrapped. The bigger boys started scrapping.

She scribbled his phone number on a scrap of paper. There's not a scrap of evidence to support his claim. Give the scraps to the dog. We sold the car for scrap. He was always getting into scraps at school.

They tracked the herd for miles. We continued tracking the plane on our radar. Setting goals means you can track your progress. The camera eventually tracked away. Don't track mud on my clean floor. Annual employment growth is tracking at 2%.

I'm sorry to intrude, but I need to talk to someone. The sound of the telephone intruded into his dreams.

The 1950s were an age of affluence in America.

Affluent Western countries. A very affluent neighbourhood.
