Упражнение 2. Исправьте возможные ошибки:

1. I’ve just talked with him and he didn’t tell me anything about it.

Обоснование: Вместо "hasn’t" используем "didn’t", так как действие совершилось в прошлом и уже завершилось.

2. It’s the first time I've seen him.

Обоснование: Исправляем время "see" на "have seen" для описания действия, которое произошло в прошлом и имеет связь с настоящим временем.

3. I haven’t had a good holiday for ages.

Обоснование: В данном случае нет ошибок.

4. The first Olympic Games were held in Ancient Greece.

Обоснование: Исправляем "took place" на "were held", так как "held" более правильно описывает проведение этих игр.

5. They divorced long ago.

Обоснование: Убираем "have" перед "divorced" так как это прошедшее событие, и не нужно использовать Present Perfect.

6. How many pages have you read today?

Обоснование: В данном случае нет ошибок.

7. It was the first time they had traveled by ship.

Обоснование: Исправляем "travelled" на "had traveled", так как событие произошло до того момента, о котором идет речь.

8. Although the sun came out, it was still snowing.

Обоснование: В данном случае нет ошибок.

9. When I came, all the documents were ready.

Обоснование: В данном случае нет ошибок.

10. She burned her tongue when she tasted the soup.

Обоснование: В данном случае нет ошибок.

11. He finished his book in December last year.

Обоснование: Исправляем "by" на "in", так как мы говорим о завершении книги, а не о каком-то действии, которое продолжалось до декабря.

12. When Sue came into the room, the baby had been awake for a quarter of an hour. He was quietly playing with his toys.

Обоснование: Исправляем "was awake" на "had been awake", так как "had been awake" описывает состояние, которое началось раньше другого прошлого действия.

13. Alice had stayed with her grandmother for a fortnight and had returned home.

Обоснование: Добавляем "had" перед "returned", чтобы подчеркнуть, что действие "вернулась домой" произошло раньше другого прошлого действия.
