Answer 1

A plumber {came) to our house yesterday. He {wanted) to
repair our washing machine that (had broken) a few days before.
Before he {rang) at my door, he {had looked) for a parking space
in the street. While the plumber {was repairing) the washing machine,
I (was watching) the news. Suddenly, I {realised) that they
{were showing) our street on TV. The reporter {said) that a car
{had crashed) into a stop sign just before reaching the crossroads.
While I {was listening) carefully to what (had happened), someone
(knocked) at my door. I {opened) the door and {saw) a police
officer standing there. He {asked) for the plumber. As
it {turned) out, it {was) our plumber’s car that {had rolled) down
the street. In his haste, the plumber {had forgotten) to put
the handbrake on.
1. I was exhausted at the end of the exam. I (had been writing) too much.
2. When thieves stole my favourite leather jacket, I was really upset. I (had had) it for over ten years.
3. Please step out of the car, Mr. Jones. Do you realise you
(have beeb driving) at over 90 mph?
4. We didn't really want to go and see the musical again.
We had (already seen) it twice - so we (said) "no" and we (went) to
a restaurant instead!
5. I arrived over an hour late to the office and everyone was
working. Actually, they had just (started) to work on a new
project and I (felt) really guilty.
6. The kitchen was full of steam when we arrived. Joan (was)
in the kitchen and she (was cooking) a huge meal for everyone
at the party.
7. It was a bit em barrassing to arrive
at their house and find Mary
looking so sad. 1 think she (had been crying)
before we (got) there.
8. No-one even noticed
when I got home.

big game on TV.
