**Цель: Понять** 1. Первая пропущенная форма глагола: - "My name is Mae Foster, and for as long as I can remember, I **loved** to figure things out." Здесь используется форма глагола в прошедшем времени, так как речь идет о длительном действии, которое происходило в прошлом. 2. Вторая пропущенная форма глагола: - "I'm also the only one in this class at Oakland Middle School who actually **wants** to be in Coding Club." Здесь используется форма глагола в настоящем времени, так как речь идет о текущем желании быть в Клубе программирования. 3. Третья пропущенная форма местоимения: - "Her puffy jacket is zipped up to her neck, and she looks grumpy. She's still angry because she didn't get a part in the play, and her parents made **her** join the club with me..." Здесь должно быть слово "her", так как оно ссылается на Erin. 4. Четвертая пропущенная форма прилагательного: - "She believes the world would be a **better** place if people had more style and wore matching colors." В данном контексте нужно использовать сравнительную степень прилагательного "better" (лучше). 5. Пятая пропущенная форма глагола: - "It **is filled** with crazy drawings of jewelry and clothing, and shoes she's designing." Правильная форма глагола в данном контексте - "is filled" (заполнен). 6. Шестая пропущенная форма глагола: - "My aunt, a computer programmer, **has been** the only one who understands why I love this stuff." Здесь используется форма глагола в Present Perfect Continuous, так как речь идет о продолжающемся действии в течение какого-то периода. 7. Седьмое пропущенное местоимение: - "She got me my own laptop last year when I was only eleven, and **taught** me how to code a game." Здесь должно стоять местоимение "she", поскольку оно относится к тете, которая научила героя. 8. Восьмое пропущенное местоимение: - "The **one** thing every club needs is rules, and who doesn't love rules?" Здесь пропущено местоимение "one" для правильного согласования с "thing". Таким образом, исправленный отрывок будет выглядеть следующим образом: "My name is Mae Foster, and for as long as I can remember, I **loved** to figure things out.
