- Mы можем понять, что Джан старше Марка, поскольку он назван первым. Джан и Марк были близнецами (twins), вообще близнецы рождаются в один день, одна минута друг за другом, и обычно так можно сказать: "Джан был старше Марка".
- Учительница английского языка сказала детям неделю назад: "Я две недели не давала вам домашних заданий, дети. Теперь на этой неделе напишите сочинение о "Нашем коте" и принесите мне его в следующий понедельник".

- Все ученики написали сочинение и принесли его учительнице в понедельник.
- Учительница прочитала все сочинения учеников.
- Она вернула сочинения ученикам во вторник.
