Exercise 5 out of 5 Read Phoebe and Matt's dialogue. Complete the reported parts of the dialogue with the correct forms of the verbs. Phoebe: Hi, Matt! Matt: Hello! Haven't seen…

Цель: Понять

Решение:

Давайте преобразуем диалог в косвенную речь, т.е., в форму, где сообщается о том, что было сказано в диалоге.

1. Phoebe Phoebe said hi to Matt.

• "Hi" is transformed into "said hi".

2. Matt said that they rented a car and explored nature.

• "rented" is the past tense of "rent", so it changes from "rent" to "rented".

3. Matt added that he had taken lots of snaps.

• "had taken" is the past perfect form of "take", so it changes from "take" to "had taken".

4. He said that he would show her the pictures at the cafe.

• "would show" is used to indicate a future action in the past, so it changes from "show" to "would show".

После применения этих изменений, косвенная речь будет выглядеть так:

Phoebe said hi to Matt.

Matt said that they rented a car and explored nature.

Matt added that he had taken lots of snaps.

He said that he would show her the pictures at the cafe.

Теперь ответим на вопрос:

He said that he would show her the pictures at the cafe.

Таким образом, правильные ответы:
