1. My mum and dad went just to the cinema. (Past Simple for a completed action at a specific time in the past, even if implied).
2. I cooked my favourite dish yesterday. (Past Simple for a completed action at a specific time in the past - 'yesterday').
3. We bought already fresh fruit from the market. (Past Simple for a completed action. 'Already' can be used with Past Simple but Present Perfect is more common here if the time is unspecified or connected to the present).
4. She had breakfast by 7.30. (Past Simple for a completed action at a specific past time. 'Had had' is also possible if emphasizing the sequence of events, but 'had' is simpler and common).
5. She made some fresh orange juice. Would anyone like some? (Past Simple for a completed action that has a present result - the juice is ready now).
6. Have you ever been to a fish & chips shop? (Present Perfect for experience, 'ever' is a common indicator).
7. I have never been at the Chinese restaurant. (Present Perfect for experience up to the present, 'never' is a common indicator).
8. We had no time for cooking, so we ordered a takeaway. (This sentence needs completion. The most logical continuation using Past Simple would be to state what happened instead of cooking, e.g., ordering takeaway. 'We had no time for cooking' is a Past Simple clause, so the following clause would typically also be in Past Simple).
