Example

It was 4:30 in the afternoon and it was raining hard. Steve was driving along a quiet country lane on his way home from work.

It was his son's birthday and he wanted to be home to see his son, Tom, blow out the candles on his cake.

The party was going to start at 5 o'clock so Steve started to drive a little faster. The road was wet and slippery.

Suddenly, he saw a woman on a bicycle in front of him. Seconds later he crashed into a tree hitting his head on the windscreen. Everything went black.

Later, Steve woke up in hospital. His wife and son came in the room. "After what happened, we decided to have the party here, Dad," said Tom. Steve smiled happily.
