Past simple

When we got home, I got another day off from Walter, Tuesday.

To-infinitive

I told him I was going to need all my Tuesdays for a while.

Present continuous

So I'm typing up the thesis, what there is of it anyway, but you might want to read it over.

So I had a thought, it was kind of weird.

If somebody could wave a magic wand and give you one day, 24 hours of perfect health, how would you spend it?

Is there a way to share it with the world?

I'd have a lovely breakfast, sweet rolls and tea, and a good swim.

I'd ask my friends for lunch, great lunch, you know, a salad, something simple.

And then we'd take a walk in a park, you know, with trees, so we could watch the birds.

And we'd talk about how much we meant to each other.

And for dinner I'd take them to a place that had great pasta, oh boy, and a little duck,

And then I would dance, oh I'd dance with my lovely partners until I was exhausted.

What about Charlotte and your sons, you didn't mention them?

I mean, if they weren't there, how could it be a perfect day?

Oh, I'd pick this spot to be buried, down a hill, under a tree.

You planning on doing a lot of thinking there?

Will you come and visit, tell me your problems?

Won't be quite the same, not hearing you talk.

Well, I'll tell you what, when I'm dead, you talk, I'll listen.

What if all this was just, what if all this was just wasted on me?

Well, now in the world, you know, outside this room, things aren't so clear.

Your wisdom and your aphorisms, once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.

What if you just want to run like hell when you see death coming?

What if, or like your father, you know, what if we can't learn it because we're not really like you?

And if it took your death to teach me these things, then I'd rather not learn them.

All the things you said, I'd give them back in one minute.

That poem you're always quoting, we have to love one another or die, we die anyway, don't we?

We learn to love somebody and they die, or we die, or it dies, what's the point?

What did we learn, really, from all that stuff?

I just can't accept that I don't want you to die.

You still don't know how to say goodbye, do you?

I'm going to come back next Tuesday, okay?

I'm going to bring his name with me, okay, next Tuesday.

He had died peacefully and simply with all his family around him.

Charlotte kept it small, just family and friends.

All the ones he would have taken dancing on his perfect day.

Take him and cut him out in little stars.

And he will make the face of heaven so fine that all the world will be in love with night.

One who taught you things you may not understand but who never gives up?

Who knows the really tough lessons take a lifetime to learn?

The last class of my old professor's life took place once a week on Tuesdays.
