Would you mind if we leave?
Would you mind if we didn’t go?
Would you mind if we go tomorrow?
Would you mind if I drive?
Would you mind if I left early?
Would you mind if I’m a little late?
Would you mind if I listened to some music?

48. How come…?
How come it’s so hard?
How come I always get sick?
How come I have to do it?
How come I failed the exam?
How come we have to go?
How come you’re always late?
How come you never listen to me?

49. What makes you…?
What makes you laugh?
What makes you happy?
What makes you crying?
What makes you live here?
What makes you feel that way?
What makes you think that?
What makes you so sure?

50. I can’t believe…
I can’t believe it.
I can’t believe it’s free.
I can’t believe he’s alive.
I can’t believe he got married.
I can’t believe we’re here.
I can’t believe they did that.
I can’t believe she said that.
