2 choose the correct verb.
1) when they got married, they had known each other for 5 years.
2) alice was happy because mark had phoned her.
3) nobody came to the party because jerry had forgotten to send the
invitation cards.

1) Our team has already finished the race, and we are discussing the results with our coach at the moment.

To complete the sentence, we need to use the present perfect tense for the verb "finish" because it indicates that the action happened in the past but has a connection to the present. The subject "our team" is plural, so we use the plural form of the verb "finish" which is "have finished".

The verb "discuss" should be in the present continuous tense because it indicates an ongoing action that is happening at the moment. Therefore, we use the verb "are discussing".

2) I didn't spot this mistake until after I had paid for the tickets.

The first part of the sentence indicates that the spotting of the mistake happened after paying for the tickets. This means that the action of spotting the mistake occurred before the action of paying. To show this chronological relationship, we use the past perfect tense for "spot" which is "had spotted".

The verb "pay" should be in the past simple tense as it happened after spotting the mistake. So we use the verb "paid".

3) When the nurse appeared, the baby had been crying for half an hour.

The verb "appear" should be in the past simple tense as it happened at a specific point in the past. So we use the verb "appeared".

The verb "cry" should be in the past perfect continuous tense because it indicates an action that started in the past and was ongoing until a specific time (half an hour). Therefore, we use the verb "had been crying".

2) Choose the correct verb.

1) When they got married, they had known each other for 5 years.

The sentence is talking about two actions in the past. "Got married" happened at a specific point in the past, so we use the past simple tense. "Had known" indicates an action that occurred before getting married, so we use the past perfect tense.

2) Alice was happy because Mark had phoned her.

The verb "was" is used in the past simple tense because it indicates a state or condition that existed at a specific point in the past. "Had phoned" indicates an action that occurred before Alice's happiness, so we use the past perfect tense.

3) Nobody came to the party because Jerry had forgotten to send the invitation cards.

The verb "came" is used in the past simple tense because it indicates an action that didn't happen at a specific point in the past. "Had forgotten" indicates an action completed before the party, so we use the past perfect tense.

(Note: In some cases, both verb options could be possible depending on the intended meaning, but based on the context provided, the answers above are the most appropriate.)
