Help the detective correct the grammar in the foreign witness's official statement.
Yesterday, _________________________ the suspect at the café. I had to wait _________________________ him for an hour in the freezing rain. He seemed quite friendly and _________________________, but I know he stole the diamonds!

The correct answers are I saw, for, and likable.

Word Order: English does not use V2 (Verb-Second) word order after time adverbs like "Yesterday." The order strictly remains Subject + Verb (Yesterday, I saw...).

Prepositions: We "wait for" someone or something.

False Friend: "Sympathetic" means showing pity or compassion. If you want to say someone has a nice, pleasant personality (like the German sympathisch or French sympathique), the English word is "likable" or "nice."
