I'm afraid she won't accept my explanation.

I don't think there is any excuse for his behavior. At the same time, we should listen to what he has to say.

Let him have his say.

He has a good case against her.

John took the lion's share of the lottery winnings; he claimed it was his idea to buy the ticket in the first place.

Taro insisted that he was right.

You cannot learn the truth unless you hear what both parties have to say.

I heard her to the end.

This is all I have to say.

State your case briefly.

Even if I grant that what you say is true, it is no excuse.

First, I should hear both sides.

If you have a bone to pick with a person, tell it to his face instead of saying things behind his back.

I think that he is in the right in this dispute.

You are right to a certain extent.

Certainly you may well be right.

Not a word he says is worthy to be heard.
