His business has been repeating success and failure.

Their army was routed and left the battlefield.

They fled in defeat in the battle.

He sat on the back of the chair.

They returned to the battlefield to help the general of the defeated army.

He is ruling the country.

He is still a youth and has little experience.

New technology is crowding out the old ones.

He is a famous haiku poet who creates wonderful verses.

He became a cripple due to an accident.
