Как рассуждать
Задание 1. Здесь важны смысловые подсказки и форма слова:
- tired → yawn (зевать);
- loud noise + surprise → gasp (ахнуть от неожиданности);
- дедушка храпит ночью → snores; подлежащее в 3-м лице ед. числа, поэтому добавляется -s;
- I’m sorry → sigh (вздох);
- после were нужна форма -ing: chatting (болтали); конечная согласная удваивается;
- sad news → cry (плакать);
- in my ear → whispered (прошептала);
- funny joke → laugh (смеяться).
Задание 2. Нужно смотреть на число существительного и смысл:
- Myths — «мифы»; мифы рассказывают о богах, героях и giants — великанах;
- после a стоит единственное число: a leprechaun;
- Irish folk tales teach — «ирландские народные сказки учат»;
- a great champion — «великий герой/защитник»;
- The Fianna were brave warriors — после were множественное число;
- overcome difficult obstacles — «преодолевать трудные препятствия»;
- its treasure is hidden — «его сокровище спрятано».
Задание 3. Past Simple обозначает законченное действие в прошлом. У правильных глаголов добавляем -ed, у неправильных берём вторую форму:
- decide → decided, stay → stayed, flicker → flickered;
- carry → carried, cry → cried: после согласной y меняется на i;
- be → was, go → went, say → said, feel → felt, come → came, see → saw.
Проверка: в задании 1 и 2 все слова использованы по смыслу, а в задании 3 формы согласованы с подлежащим: it was, there was a flash, there was no reply.
