He would rather spend time alone.

He prefers to come early rather than be late.

I was late for school because the train was delayed.

His frequent lateness is becoming a problem.

He loves a quiet life.

We spread a straw mat at the beach and had a picnic.

He scooped a full ladle of soup.

My dog got infected with intestinal worms.

Whether he liked it or not, he had to continue the job.

He is my best friend.
