4. Sara is talking to her husband. They've been married for forty years. Six Past Simple verb forms should be Past Perfect. Find them and correct.
Sara: We first met in 1960, didn't we at the cinema?
Brian: Yes. When we arrived, the film 'already began.
Sara: I saw it before anyway.
Brian: Really? You didn't tell me that.
Sara: No. I wanted you to take me to the cinema the following week!
Brian: So you already decided you liked me!
Sara: And then you took me to your favourite restaurant, but it closed a week before!
Brian: Oh, dear. What did we do next?
Sara: We went to a pub to meet your friends, but it was empty. Everyone went home, because England was
playing Germany at Wembley.
Brian: What an evening!
Sara: That's not all! When I got home I couldn't open the front door because I left my keys at the pub.​

Sara is talking to her husband Brian about their past experiences. The task is to identify six Past Simple verb forms in the conversation and correct them by changing them to Past Perfect verb forms.

1. Sara: We first met in 1960, didn't we at the cinema?
Correction: We had first met in 1960, hadn't we, at the cinema?

Explanation: In this sentence, the verb "meet" should be in the Past Perfect form "had met" because the action of meeting occurred before the conversation is taking place. Also, the question tag "didn't we" should be changed to "hadn't we" to match the Past Perfect tense.

2. Brian: Yes. When we arrived, the film 'already began.
Correction: Yes. When we arrived, the film had already begun.

Explanation: The verb "begin" should be in the Past Perfect form "had begun" because it happened before the conversation. The word "already" indicates that the film started before their arrival.

3. Sara: I saw it before anyway.
Correction: I had seen it before anyway.

Explanation: The verb "see" should be in the Past Perfect form "had seen" because it happened before the conversation. The word "before" implies that Sara saw the film earlier.

4. Brian: Really? You didn't tell me that.
Correction: Really? You hadn't told me that.

Explanation: The verb "tell" should be in the Past Perfect form "hadn't told" because it happened before the conversation. Brian didn't know about Sara seeing the film before, so the Past Perfect tense is appropriate here.

5. Sara: No. I wanted you to take me to the cinema the following week!
Correction: No. I had wanted you to take me to the cinema the following week.

Explanation: The verb "want" should be in the Past Perfect form "had wanted" because it expresses a desire that existed before the conversation. Sara wanted Brian to take her to the cinema in the past, not in the present.

6. Sara: And then you took me to your favorite restaurant, but it closed a week before!
Correction: And then you had taken me to your favorite restaurant, but it had closed a week before!

Explanation: The verb "take" should be in the Past Perfect form "had taken" because it happened before the conversation. The verb "close" should also be changed to "had closed" because it happened before they went to the restaurant.

In summary, the corrected conversation should be:

Sara: We had first met in 1960, hadn't we, at the cinema?
Brian: Yes. When we arrived, the film had already begun.
Sara: I had seen it before anyway.
Brian: Really? You hadn't told me that.
Sara: No. I had wanted you to take me to the cinema the following week!
Brian: So you had already decided you liked me!
Sara: And then you had taken me to your favorite restaurant, but it had closed a week before!
Brian: Oh, dear. What did we do next?
Sara: We went to a pub to meet your friends, but it was empty. Everyone had gone home because England was playing Germany at Wembley.
Brian: What an evening!
Sara: That's not all! When I got home, I couldn't open the front door because I had left my keys at the pub.
