Examples from texts

Our children may have mixed with others, played with friends or enjoyed meeting with their peers. But now they may have lost friends and they may spend most of their time alone, withdrawn at home and in their own rooms.
Nuestros hijos que podrían haberse relacionado con otros niños, jugado con amigos y disfrutado de sus compañías, pueden ahora haber perdido amigos, pasar la mayor parte del tiempo solos, aislados en sus casas y en sus cuartos.

"Trabajé en esos proyectos antes y después de ir a trabajar y durante los fines de semana", dice Irwin, "del mismo modo que otras personas se entretienen con sus pasatiempos en esos ratos libres".
