Задание № 12. Косвенная речь и согласование времён. Раскройте скобки, употребляя правильную форму глагола: 1. She said she (to work) at that company for five years. 2. He told me he (to finish) his homework an hour before. 3. They said they (to go) to the museum the next day. 4. I thought she (to know) the answer. 5. He said he (can) help us with the project.

Решение:

• 1. She said she had worked at that company for five years. (При переходе из прямой речи в косвенную глагол \'work\' сдвигается на время назад — из Past Simple в Past Perfect).
• 2. He told me he had finished his homework an hour before. (Глагол \'finish\' также сдвигается на время назад — из Past Simple в Past Perfect).
• 3. They said they would go to the museum the next day. (Модальный глагол \'go\' в \'will go\' трансформируется в \'would go\', так как \'said\' — глагол в прошедшем времени).
• 4. I thought she knew the answer. (Глагол \'know\' в Past Simple, так как \'thought\' — в прошедшем времени).
• 5. He said he could help us with the project. (Модальный глагол \'can\' в \'could\', так как \'said\' — в прошедшем времени).

Ответ: 1. had worked; 2. had finished; 3. would go; 4. knew; 5. could
