Решение:

Это задания на использование условных предложений второго типа (Second Conditional). В таких предложениях:

• В If-clause (придаточное с 'if') используется Past Simple (вторая форма глагола).
• В main clause (главное предложение) используется 'would' + инфинитив глагола (без 'to').

Заполняем пропуски:

1. Mike would be mad if you took his earphone away without asking.
2. If I knew how to sing, I would sing for my mother.
3. If you were not lazy in practicing, you would become a famous singer. (Обратите внимание, что с 'you' и 'I' в подобных конструкциях часто используется 'were' вместо 'was', но 'was' тоже допустимо, особенно с 'I').
4. I would take a better room if I had enough money.
5. If we did not forget the schedule, we would see the show now!
6. It would not be a surprise if they knew about the party.
7. If my friend did not tell me the truth, I would misunderstand.
8. If I were you, I would not punish her so bad like that. (Здесь тоже используется 'were' для выражения нереального условия).
