His father might have been standing at the door for several minutes.

His father came on across the room, and stood looking down at him.

His father had come out and was standing behind him.

But father and son haven't always stood so united during the project.

Your father stood for many things that have gone from our world.

He wanted to follow, to stand where his father had stood for him.

My father can't stand the parents of the girl I'm seeing.

But for a change, my father didn't just stand there.

Father wouldn't have just stood there watching his children in bed.

His own father could not stand the sight of him.
