Examples from texts

Ruth tenses at his threat to bite, and her hands shove at his shoulders, but he clings there, his teeth bared in a silent exclamation, crying out against her smothering throat that it is not her body he wants, not the flesh and bones, but her, her.
Ожидая укуса, Рут испуганно вздрагивает и упирается ему ладонями в плечи, но он не отпускает ее и, чуть не задушив в объятиях, кричит, что ему нужно не ее тело, а она, она вся.

These bits of wood were covered, on every square, with paper pasted on them; and on these papers were written all the words of their language, in their several moods, tenses, and declensions; but without any order.
Со всех сторон каждой дощечки приклеено было по кусочку бумаги, и на этих бумажках были написаны все слова их языка в различных наклонениях, временах и падежах, но без всякого порядка.

“There's a man in Boston, you see... or was... or will be (time-travel plays hell on the old verb tenses, doesn't it?)... who is a politician of some note. The sort of fellow who moves and shakes with great vigor behind the scenes.
Там в Бостоне, видите ли, есть... или был... или будет (черт его поймет с этими путешествиями во времени), короче, там - один небезызвестный политический деятель, из тех, кто суетится и все перетряхивает за кулисами политического фасада.
