  • They walked up to the counter and asked for directions.
  • The nurse looked him over before calling the doctor.
  • You can’t enter without a reservation.

  • They walk into the club at exactly 10 p.m. every Friday.
  • He looks at their ID and smiles.
  • She said, "You need a ticket to get in."
