Перевод задания: Поставь глаголы в нужную форму прошедшего времени.

1. Yesterday, I had a big argument with my brother because he had been using my laptop without asking.
   Past Simple обозначает произошедшее событие; Past Perfect Continuous — действие, которое длилось до этого момента.
2. When Mom came home, we were still arguing about who had to do the dishes.
   Past Simple обозначает момент прихода, а Past Continuous — продолжавшееся тогда действие.
3. Dad had already talked to both of us before Mom got back, but the situation did not get any better.
   Разговор произошёл до возвращения мамы, поэтому используется Past Perfect; отсутствие улучшения описывает результат в прошлом — Past Simple.
4. She had been trying to calm everyone down for almost half an hour before she finally gave up and told us to stop talking.
   Длительное действие до другого события — Past Perfect Continuous; последовательное завершённое действие — Past Simple.
5. I felt really guilty afterwards because I had said some things I didn’t mean.
   Чувство возникло после сказанного, поэтому для более раннего действия используется Past Perfect.
