Accepted Answer

Перевод задания: Определите, подходит ли выделенная курсивом форма глагола.

В пункте (a) в задании уже указано unsuitable; ниже приведена проверка всех пунктов.

Unsuitable. While I was having a bath, someone knocked on the door. (Пока я принимал ванну, кто-то постучал в дверь.) Длительное действие следует поставить в Past Continuous.
Unsuitable. Sally hadn't been to a boxing match before. (Салли раньше не бывала на боксёрском матче.) Речь о жизненном опыте до прошлого момента; естественная форма — Past Perfect.
Suitable. Harry tried to repair the car, but he didn't really know what he was doing. (Гарри попытался починить машину, но толком не знал, что делает.) Формы Past Simple и Past Continuous употреблены правильно.
Suitable. What did you wear to the Ponsonby's party? (Что ты надел на вечеринку Понсонби?) Вопрос о завершённом событии в прошлом правильно образован в Past Simple.
Suitable. Were you eating spaghetti every day when you lived in Italy? (Ты ел спагетти каждый день, когда жил в Италии?) Past Continuous может выражать временное или повторявшееся действие в ограниченный прошлый период.
Suitable. I didn't know you had bought a new car. (Я не знал, что ты купил новую машину.) Покупка предшествовала тому, что говорящий не знал об этом.
Suitable. They all wanted to believe her, but suspected she was lying. (Все хотели ей верить, но подозревали, что она лжёт.) Past Continuous верно описывает продолжавшееся действие.
Suitable. As Peggy walked home, she tried to remember what happened. (Пока Пегги шла домой, она пыталась вспомнить, что произошло.) Past Simple уместен для завершившегося события, которое она вспоминала.
Suitable. 'What a terrible day!' thought Lucy. Everything had gone wrong! («Какой ужасный день!» — подумала Люси. Всё пошло не так!) Past Perfect показывает, что события произошли до её мысли.
Suitable. Although it rained a lot, I was enjoying my holiday last year. (Хотя в прошлом году часто шёл дождь, я наслаждался отпуском.) Past Continuous выражает переживание, продолжавшееся в тот период.
