Дело о взломе дома в Кембридже сегодня перешло на третий день. Защита обвиняемого основывалась на том, что он не мог войти в дом в половине седьмого. Он утверждал, что в то время играл в футбол, и заявил, что несколько свидетелей могут это подтвердить. На этом этапе обвинение обвинило его в изменении показаний, поскольку ранее он заявлял, что во время взлома находился дома. Подсудимый согласился, что память у него не в лучшем состоянии, поскольку он страдал приступами депрессии. Судья вмешался, напомнив подсудимому, что тот принёс присягу говорить правду, и предупредив его о серьёзных последствиях лжи в суде. Подсудимый сказал, что просто забыл о футбольном матче, и настаивал, что не меняет своих показаний.

Ответ: 1) could; 2) to; 3) accused; 4) time; 5) was; 6) suffering; 7) had; 8) him; 9) about; 10) that.
