15.3 Use the sentences on the left to complete the paragraphs on the right. These sentences are in the order in which they happened — so (a) happened before (b), (b) before (c) etc. But your paragraph begins with the underlined sentence, so sometimes you need the past perfect. 1 (a) Somebody broke into the office during the night. (b) We arrived at work in the morning. (c) We called the police. 2 (a) Laura went out this morning. (b) I rang her doorbell. (c) There was no answer. 3 (a) Jim came back from holiday a few days ago. (b) I met him the same day. (c) He looked very well. 4 (a) Kevin sent Sally lots of emails. (b) She never replied to them. (c) Yesterday he got a phone call from her. (d) He was very surprised.

Перевод задания: Используйте предложения слева, чтобы закончить абзацы справа. Предложения расположены в порядке событий: (a) произошло раньше (b), (b) раньше (c) и так далее. Но абзац начинается с подчёркнутого предложения, поэтому иногда нужно использовать Past Perfect.

1. We arrived at work in the morning and found that somebody had broken into the office during the night. So we called the police. (Утром мы пришли на работу и обнаружили, что ночью кто-то забрался в офис. Поэтому мы вызвали полицию.)
2. I went to Laura’s house this morning and rang her doorbell, but she had gone out. There was no answer. (Сегодня утром я пришёл к Лоре и позвонил в дверь, но она ушла. Никто не ответил.)
3. I met Jim a few days ago. He had just come back from holiday. He looked very well. (Несколько дней назад я встретил Джима. Он только что вернулся из отпуска. Он выглядел очень хорошо.)
4. Yesterday Kevin got a phone call from Sally. He was very surprised. He had sent her lots of emails, but she had never replied to them. (Вчера Кевину позвонила Салли. Он был очень удивлён. Он отправил ей много электронных писем, но она так и не ответила на них.)
