When my mother's mother heard about the plan, she had a fit.

My mother did not hear the last part of this explanation.

A year had gone by, and still my mother wouldn't hear that.

The last my mother heard of him was more than a year after he left.

My mother does not hear; she is a little deaf you know.

He didn't care if his mother heard him throwing up.

Her mother must have heard the door opening out to the hallway.

He pitched his voice low so their mother would not hear.

If my mother had heard the gossip, he would have as well.

"A mother hears that her small child has been killed, and how is she supposed to feel?"
