At the end of half an hour the whole river picked itself up and began to move.

At the same time, the river began to give us a better outlook into the country.

A river may begin in mountains where there is snow.

As one began to pole across the river, the other played out the rope.

That was about the time the river began to deteriorate.

The river began to curve, and the street bent with it.

More than anything in my life I wanted to see where this great river, that was our life, began.

Most only have the vaguest sense of where the river begins.

The river began flowing along its present course after the end of the last glacial period.

Still, as the river has begun to heal, other benefits are flowing.
