Давайте разберем задачу по частям. В ней содержатся вопросы о прошедшем времени и необходимо будет заполнить пропуски. ### Часть 1: Where were these people at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon? 1. **Jo** was in bed. 2. **Jack and Kate** were at the party. 3. **Sue** was at the library. 4. **And you?** I was at work. ### Часть 2: Write am/is/are (present) or was/were (past). 1. Last year she **was** 22, so she **is** 23 now. - *Объяснение:* Мы используем "was" для прошлого времени и "is" для настоящего, так как это заявление о текущем возрасте. 2. Today the weather **is** nice, but yesterday it **was** very cold. - *Объяснение:* "is" используется для описания текущей погоды, "was" для описания погоды в прошлом. 3. I **am** hungry. Can I have something to eat? - *Объяснение:* Здесь мы описываем текущее состояние, поэтому используем "am". 4. I feel fine this morning, but I **was** very tired last night. - *Объяснение:* "feel" описывает текущее состояние, а "was" относится к прошлому. 5. Where **were** you at 11 o'clock last Friday morning? - *Объяснение:* Мы спрашиваем о месте, где человек был в конкретный момент времени в прошлом, поэтому используем "were". 6. Don't buy those shoes. They **are** very expensive. - *Объяснение:* Здесь идет речь о текущем состоянии обуви, поэтому используем "are". 7. I like your new jacket. **Is** it expensive? - *Объяснение:* Вопрос о теперешнем состоянии, поэтому используем "is". 8. This time last year I **was** in Paris. - *Объяснение:* Мы говорим о том, где кто-то находился в прошлом, следовательно, "was". 9. 'Where **were** Sam and Joe?' 'I don't know. They **were** here a few minutes ago.' - *Объяснение:* Мы снова спрашиваем о местоположении в прошлом, поэтому используем "were". ### Часть 3: Write was/were or wasn't/weren't. 1. We **weren't** happy with the hotel. Our room **was** very small and it wasn’t clean. - *Объяснение:* "weren't" указывает на отрицание в прошлом. 2. Mark **wasn't** at work last week because he **was** ill. He's better now. - *Объяснение:* "wasn't" отрицательная форма для состояния. 3. Yesterday **was** a public holiday, so the banks **were** closed. They're open today. - *Объяснение:* Мы используем "was" и "were" для описания фактов в прошлом. 4. ' **Were** Kate and Ben at the party?' 'Kate **was** there, but Ben **wasn't.**' - *Объяснение:* Используем "were" в вопросе и "was" и "wasn't" в ответе. 5. Where are my keys? They **were** on the table, but they're not there now. - *Объяснение:* Мы говорим о том, где ключи были в прошлом. 6. You **were** at home last night. Where **were** you? - *Объяснение:* Описание местоположения в прошлом, используем "were". ### Часть 4: Write questions from these words + was/were. Put the words in the right order. 1. Why **were** you late this morning? 2. Was your exam difficult? 3. Where **were** Sue and Chris last week? 4. How much **was** your new camera? 5. Why **were** you angry yesterday? 6. Was the weather nice last week? ### Заключение В этой задаче мы познакомились с использованием глаголов "to be" в настоящем и прошедшем времени. Основное внимание уделяется различиям в использовании "am/is/are" для настоящего и "was/were" для прошедшего времени, а также формированию вопросов и отрицаний.
