Все любят летние каникулы. Обычно люди замечательно проводят время и много веселятся. Но так случается, только если они ведут себя должным образом, обладают чувством ответственности и выполняют простые правила.
летом группа туристов чуть было не стала кормом для акул, когда они посещали аквариум в Новом Орлеане в США. Туристов попросили дождаться очереди и пройти на специальную платформу, рассчитанную на десять человек. Пытаясь получше разглядеть убийственных животных, двадцать или тридцать туристов забрались на эту платформу. Она рухнула, и они упали в воду. Некоторые акулы были размером с человека, но к счастью, они уже позавтракали. Так как они не были голодные, акулы не трогали туристов. У них появилось время, чтобы прибыли и их всех.
Fiona: Well, I've done nearly all the things on my list.
Molly: Let's look at it together.
Fiona: Well, I learned the script. That was hard!
Molly: Great. Have you checked the lights?
Fiona: Yes. I checked them this morning.
Molly: And have you cleaned the stage?
Fiona: No, I haven't, but I sold all the tickets.
Molly: What about the make-up?
Fiona: I bought it yesterday. Mum's got it.
Molly: And the costumes?
Fiona: The costumes are... Oh no! I haven't taken them to the theatre!
To complete the conversation, we need to choose the correct form of the verb in each gap. Let's analyze each sentence:
1. Fiona says, "Well, I learned (the script). That was hard!" Here, she is talking about an action that happened in the past. She has learned the script at some point before the conversation, so we use the past simple tense. The correct form of the verb is "learned."
2. Molly asks, "Have you checked the lights?" Molly is asking if Fiona has completed the action of checking the lights. Since this action is connected to the present, we use the present perfect tense. The correct form of the verb is "checked."
3. Fiona responds, "Yes. I checked them (the lights) this morning." Fiona confirms that she has already checked the lights earlier today. We again use the past simple tense to talk about a completed action in the past. The correct form of the verb is "checked."
4. Molly asks, "And have you cleaned the stage?" Molly wants to know if Fiona has completed the action of cleaning the stage. Since this action is connected to the present, we use the present perfect tense. The correct form of the verb is "cleaned."
5. Fiona responds, "No, I haven't, but I sold all the tickets." Fiona admits that she has not cleaned the stage. She uses the present perfect tense to talk about an action that has not yet been completed. The correct form of the verb is "sold."
6. Molly asks, "What about the makeup?" Molly wants to know if Fiona has obtained the makeup. Since this action is connected to the past, we use the past simple tense. The correct form of the verb is "bought."
7. Fiona responds, "I bought it yesterday. Mum's got it." Fiona states that she has bought the makeup the day before. Here, she uses the past simple tense to talk about a completed action in the past. The correct form of the verb is "bought."
8. Molly asks, "And the costumes?" Molly wants to know the situation with the costumes. She is referring to the present moment, so we use the present simple tense. The correct form of the verb is "are."
9. Fiona realizes and exclaims, "Oh no! I haven't taken them (the costumes) to the theatre!" Fiona admits that she has not yet taken the costumes to the theatre. She uses the present perfect tense to talk about an action that has not been completed. The correct form of the verb is "haven't taken."
So, the completed conversation is:
Molly: The play is tonight. Are you ready for it?
Fiona: Well, I've done nearly all the things on my list.
Molly: Let's look at it together.
Fiona: Well, I learned the script. That was hard!
Molly: Great. Have you checked the lights?
Fiona: Yes. I checked them this morning.
Molly: And have you cleaned the stage?
Fiona: No, I haven't, but I sold all the tickets.
Molly: What about the make-up?
Fiona: I bought it yesterday. Mum's got it.
Molly: And the costumes?
Fiona: The costumes are... Oh no! I haven't taken them to the theatre!
Explanation: The verb "move" is in the past participle form, which is "moved." To form the Present Perfect tense, we use the auxiliary verb "have" in the present tense followed by the past participle of the main verb. Since the action of moving to a new house has not happened yet, we use "have not moved" in the negative form.
2. The plane has already arrived.
Explanation: The verb "arrive" is in the past participle form, which is "arrived." The Present Perfect tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb "have" in the present tense followed by the past participle of the main verb. In this sentence, the action of the plane arriving has already happened, so we use "has already arrived."
3. Has Azamat left for work?
Explanation: The verb "leave" is in the base form, which remains the same in the Present Perfect tense. To form the Present Perfect tense in a question, we use the auxiliary verb "have" in the present tense followed by the subject "Azamat" and the base form of the main verb "leave." The word order in questions is usually subject-auxiliary-verb.
4. Don't come in here! I have just cleaned the floor.
Explanation: The verb "clean" is in the past participle form, which is "cleaned." To form the Present Perfect tense in the negative form, we use the auxiliary verb "have" in the present tense followed by "not" and the past participle of the main verb. In this sentence, the action of cleaning the floor has just happened, so we use "have just cleaned."
5. The author has written a lot of best-selling novels.
Explanation: The verb "write" is in the past participle form, which is "written." The Present Perfect tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb "have" in the present tense followed by the past participle of the main verb. In this sentence, the author has completed the action of writing a lot of best-selling novels in the past, so we use "has written."
1. Enjoys.
