Упражнения на Past Simple & Past Perfect

 Past Simple & Past Perfect

Чтобы было легче делать эти упражнения, напоминаю: Past Simple будет как бы "опорным" временем. Относительно него будет «предпрошедшее» время, то есть Past Perfect. Например: Он дал мне книгу, которую я не читал. Читал раньше, чем он дал. He gave me the book that I had not read.

1.       I (be) sorry that I (not be) nicer to him.

2.       Nobody (come) to the meeting because Angela (forget) to tell people about it.

3.       I (see) her before somewhere - I (know).

4.       Because he (not check) the oil for so long, the car (break) down. [for so long - так долго]

5.       She couldn't find the book that I (lend) her.

6.       All the people that we (invite) turned up, and some that we (not invite).

7.       They (never find) where he (hide) the money.

8.       It was a firm that I (never hear) of.

9.       When she (come) in, we all knew where she (be).

10. The lesson already (start) when I (arrive).
