Перевод задания: Выбери правильные ответы, чтобы завершить предложения.

1. d) didn't have — They didn't have a picnic yesterday. It was too cold outside. (Вчера они не устроили пикник. На улице было слишком холодно.) Вторая фраза указывает на причину, поэтому нужен отрицательный ответ.
2. c) were skateboarding, fell — While we were skateboarding yesterday, Kate fell and hurt her knee. (Пока мы катались на скейтбордах вчера, Кейт упала и повредила колено.) Длительное действие прерывается завершённым событием.
3. c) not enough — There were not enough chairs for everybody to sit down, so some people had to stand. (Стульев не хватило на всех, чтобы сесть, поэтому некоторым пришлось стоять.) Следствие показывает недостаток стульев.
4. a) rains, will play — If it rains, we will play laser tag at the local games centre. (Если пойдёт дождь, мы поиграем в лазертаг в местном развлекательном центре.) В условной части первого типа используется Present Simple, в главной — will.
5. c) have been, for — I met Sue when I was five. We have been best friends for ten years! (Я познакомился с Сью, когда мне было пять. Мы лучшие друзья уже десять лет!) Для периода времени используется for, а продолжающееся состояние выражается Present Perfect.
6. a) have visited, went — I have visited a lot of places. Two years ago I went to Egypt! (Я побывал во многих местах. Два года назад я ездил в Египет!) Опыт выражается Present Perfect, конкретное время в прошлом — Past Simple.
7. b) am going to take — I've decided that I am going to take an online learning course. I've booked a place. (Я решил пройти онлайн-курс. Я уже записался.) Намерение и принятое решение выражаются конструкцией be going to.
