Как рассуждать
В первом упражнении важны устойчивые сочетания: solve a problem, at first glance, a famous detective, a cosy flat, hide money, explore the city, great imagination, the investigation continued, a biography of Picasso. Все 10 слов из рамки используются по одному разу — это хорошая самопроверка.
В Past Simple:
- правильные глаголы получают -ed: create → created, vanish → vanished;
- неправильные нужно помнить: catch → caught, find → found;
- в вопросах и отрицаниях используется did/didn’t + начальная форма: Did you help?, didn’t come, didn’t hide. Поэтому после did не ставим -ed.
- В третьем упражнении:
- after — «после», until — «до»;
- as soon as — «как только»;
- used to + глагол — регулярное действие или состояние в прошлом: used to go, used to be;
- last week указывает на однократное событие в прошлом, поэтому Karen went to London last week;
- после Did you…? — use to, без -ed;
- в № 9 по смыслу и числу подлежащего eyes — were. В строке на фото не видно пары вариантов, поэтому если там должен был быть выбор was/were, лучше сверить с более чётким фрагментом.
Проверка: в № 2 после did/didn’t везде начальная форма глагола; в № 10 получается didn’t use to drive, а не didn’t used to drive.
