Mike gave his van a scratch
The receptionist showed them the room
We bought Maria a guitar
She told her daughter everything
My friends ordered me a beer
She threw me a bag
Or the following:
Accord Afford Allocate Allow Appoint Ask Assign Assure Award Bake
Bet Bring Build Call Catch Cause Charge Cook Cost Cut
Deal Deliver Deny Design Do Draw Drop Earn Feed Find
Fine Get Give Grant Guarantee Hand Hunt Keep Leave Lend
Lose Mail Make Name Offer Owe Pass Permit Play Prescribe
Profit Promise Purchase Quote Read Refuse Render Save Sell Send
Serve Set Show Spare Supply Take Teach Tell Throw Win
Wish Write Buy Order
