"Problems"
Last week, as I was
(leave) my office, I
(notice) one of my coworkers
(to be) still
(work) at his desk. I
(walk) over to him to say "good night" as I usually
(do). However, this night
(to be) different than other nights because he
(seem) to be in a sad mood. When I
(ask) him about what
(am,bother) him, he
(say) "nothing" at first. I
(continue) to
(ask) him questions because I was really
(worry) about him. He then
(tell) me that his wife was in the process of
(divorce) him. When I
(hear) the news, I
(feel) extremely sorry for him. Apparently, his wife was angry at him for various reasons. First, she felt that he was never

(complain) about his
(come) home from work late although he
(say) it was part of his job. Of course, she

(not,know) what else to say in order to
(relieve) his depression.
