It was a little difficult to make her mother understand that she didn't have a great deal of time to go shopping.

His mother had understood that, and now he did too.

Of all the family only his mother had understood him and she was now dead.

He knew, of course, that his mother would not understand the letter at once.

But these two mothers don't understand the first thing about us!

It seemed he had a problem in school that his mother just couldn't understand.

His mother just hadn't understood why he couldn't stay longer.

My mother, I was sure, would not only understand but encourage.

The words were not too clear, but the girl's mother understood them.

I think that my mother understood, but no one else ever has.
