1. The sports shop closed at 8 p.m.

2. By the time I got to the supermarket, it had already closed.

3. James said he didn't remember when his brother became an Olympic champion.

Answer 2

Certainly! Let's complete the sentences using the appropriate forms of the verbs, either past simple or past perfect, as needed:

1. The sports shop closed at 8 p.m. (past simple)

2. By the time I got to the supermarket, it had already closed. (past perfect) - In this case, we use past perfect because the action of closing (closing of the supermarket) had already been completed before another past action (you getting to the supermarket).

3. James said he didn't remember when his brother became an Olympic champion. (past simple) - In this case, past simple is appropriate as we are talking about a specific point in the past when James' brother achieved the status of an Olympic champion.
