Answer 1

Глаголы в скобках нужно ставить в past simple (прошедшее простое) или past continuous (прошедшее продолженное время). Затем указать, для чего эти времена использованы в каждом отрывке.

Ответ:

A

Charlie Chaplin 1) became one of the best-known personalities in America within two years of his first appearance in motion pictures. He 2) was so famous that no studio could afford to pay him, so he 3) appeared only in films which he 4) produced himself.

B

It 1) happened at ten o'clock last night. John 2) was sitting in his cosy living room with his wife and children. They 3) were watching the evening news on TV when suddenly, the lights 4) went out and everything in the house 5) became quiet.​

Объяснение:

In extract A the past simple is used for actions which happened at a definite time in the past. The time is implied (we all know when Charlie Chaplin lived).

In extract B the past simple is used for an action in the past (the time is stated) - sentence 1. In sentence 2 we use the past continuous for an action which was in progress at the time stated. In sentence 3 it is the past continuous for an action which was in progress when another action (that's the past simple) interrupted it. The fifth verb is the past simple - it's for an action that followed the previous one.
_____
В отрывке А past simple используется для действий, которые произошли в определенное время в прошлом. Время не указано, но подразумевается (мы все знаем, когда жил Чарли Чаплин).

В отрывке B past simple используется для обозначения действия в прошлом (указано точное время) — предложение 1.
В предложении 2 используем past continuous для действия, которое длилось в указанное время (мы не знаем, когда оно началось и когда закончилось). В предложении 3 past continuous выражает действие, которое длилось/выполнялось, когда другое действие (past simple) прервало его. Пятый глагол - past simple - указывает на действие, которое последовало за предыдущим. #SPJ3

Answer 2

A:

1. became (past simple) - This is used to indicate an action that occurred and was completed in the past.
2. was (past simple) - This is used to describe a state in the past.
3. appeared (past simple) - This is used to describe an action that occurred and was completed in the past.
4. produced (past simple) - This is used to describe an action that occurred and was completed in the past.

In extract A, the past simple tense is used to describe completed actions and states in the past.

B:

1. happened (past simple) - This is used to indicate an action that occurred and was completed in the past.
2. was sitting (past continuous) - This is used to describe an ongoing action in the past.
3. were watching (past continuous) - This is used to describe an ongoing action in the past.
4. went out (past simple) - This is used to indicate an action that occurred and was completed in the past.
5. became (past simple) - This is used to describe a change of state in the past.

In extract B, both past simple and past continuous tenses are used. The past simple tense is used to describe completed actions, while the past continuous tense is used to describe ongoing actions or situations in the past.
