Конечно! Вот подробное решение задания с объяснениями. --- **Задание 18. Откройте скобки и используйте глаголы в Present Perfect или Past Simple.** **Текст с пропусками и объяснениями:** 1. Last Sunday my friend **(to invite)** me to have lunch and then to go to the cinema together. - Здесь действует прошлое время, когда событие произошло в прошлом — "в прошлое воскресенье". Используем Past Simple: **invited** 2. "It **(to be)** nice of you to ask me. I **(to be)** very busy lately and **(not to go)** out much," I said to him. - "It was nice" — Past Simple, так как речь о прошлом событии. - "I have been" — здесь лучше использовать Present Perfect для выражения действия, которое началось в прошлом и продолжается или актуально сейчас, либо "I was" — Past Simple. Однако по контексту, поскольку речь о недавнем времени, лучше использовать Past Simple: **was** - "I have been" — Present Perfect, потому что *lately* указывает на недавнее время, поэтому: **have been** - "I haven't gone" — отрицательная форма Past Perfect или Present Perfect, в данном случае лучше оставить Present Perfect: **haven't gone** Итог: _"It was nice of you to ask me. I have been very busy lately and haven't gone out much,"_ я сказал ему. 3. He **(to be)** in the bathroom when the telephone **(to ring)**. - "He was" — Past Simple, описывает событие в прошлом, одновременно происходящее в определённый момент. - "the telephone rang" — Past Simple, событие случилось в конкретное время. Ответ: **was**, **rang** 4. "Can he speak English well?" Yes, he can. He **(to stay)** in England for three years and **(to study)** English literature at Oxford University. - "He has stayed" — Past Simple, потому что речь о периоде времени (три года). В данном случае можно использовать Past Simple, так как речь о прошлом (за последние три года). - "And has studied" — Present Perfect, так как подчеркивает факт завершенного действия, связанного с настоящим или недавним прошлым. Ответ: **stayed**, **has studied** 5. "He **(to teach)** ever at school?" "Yes. It **(to be)** fifteen years ago." - Вопрос: Используем Past Simple — **Did he teach**? - "It was" — Past Simple, так как говорим о прошлом событии. Ответ: **Did he teach**, **was** 6. "You **(to buy)** an excellent present for Peter." - Здесь, скорее всего, речь об одном конкретном случае в прошлом, поэтому Past Simple: **bought** 7. "I'm glad you like it." - Это часть предложения, без пропуска. --- ### Итоговое решение: ```plaintext Last Sunday my friend **invited** me to have lunch and then to go to the cinema together.
