Как рассуждать:
Это косвенная речь (reported speech). Вводный глагол ставим в Past Simple, потому что передаём слова из прошлого:
- say → said — «сказать»;
- want → wanted — «хотеть»;
- ask → asked — «спросить»;
- explain → explained — «объяснить»;
- add → added — «добавить».
Выбор зависит от смысла и конструкции:
- say to somebody that — сказать кому-то, что (№1, №6);
- want to know — хотеть знать (№2);
- ask if — спросить, ли (№3);
- explain to somebody that / what — объяснить кому-то, что (№4, №5);
- add that — добавить, что (№7). Здесь второе предложение дополняет первое: сначала сказали, что уезжаем, потом добавили, что не хотим опоздать.
Слово wonder («интересоваться, размышлять») в этом задании не выбираем: в №3 по смыслу нужно именно «спросил» — asked.
Проверка:
Все вводные глаголы стоят в Past Simple. В придаточных после них используется past perfect (had already spoken, had finished, had flown, had lost) или past continuous (were leaving, didn’t want) — это соответствует правилу согласования времён.
