101. The results we achieved were only partly satisfactory. (Just não pode ser usado para exprimir a ideia de ‘não completamente’.)

102. Would you be kind enough to explain this to us once more? (Be kind enough to ou be so kind as to.)

103. I merely suggested we should be kind to this poor fellow. (Kind to, não kind with.)
