It was a sunny afternoon in late October (prep=adv). Muriel and I had decided to check properties for sale in the countryside. We had always enjoyed toying with the idea of finding (np) the perfect place to live (inf=adj). So we got into the car to start as soon as possible (inf=adv). After driving (part) for hours we reached the spot, a stretch of fields forgotten in the middle of nowhere. (prep=adj). We had been told about this lonely place by my uncle Bob, the hermit (app).To be standing there in the absolute silence (inf=n) of the place was unnerving. We could hear the blades of grass rustling against each other and smell the strong stench of cows grazing nearby. (compound)Never had we been away from the city or felt the isolation of a rural area for this reason we rushed back to the car and drove back to our apartment as fast as we could. (compound-complex).
