Answer 1

Ответ:

8. She … the soup in the kitchen when the telephone rang.

C. was tasting (Past Continuous для описания длительного действия, которое было прервано коротким действием - оно  выражено глаголом в Past Simple)

9. Could you call a little later? We … dinner now.

A. are having (Present Continuous: мы обедаем - действие происходит сейчас, в момент речи)

10. What ______________ this afternoon at 3 pm?

B. will you be doing (Future Continuous: действие, которое будет длиться в указанный момент в будущем)

11. What ... you doing at ten o'clock last night ?

B. were (Past Continuous: действие, которое длилось в указанный момент в прошлом)

12. Your bag … a ton. There are too many books in it.

A. weighs (глагол weigh в значении "весить" не употребляется во временах группы Continuous)

13. I … a little boy in the room. He is sleeping on the sofa.

C. see (глагол see в значении "видеть" не употребляется во временах группы Continuous)

14. Is that Alan over there? He … old and tired. Is he sick?

B. looks (глагол look в значении "выглядеть" не употребляется во временах группы Continuous)

15. We saw a lot of rubbish when we ........... (walk) through the park.

C. were walking (Past Continuous для описания длительного действия)

16. Why ... me last night ?

C. didn't you call (слова last night указывают на то, что действие произошло в прошлом, при этом мы просто называем действие без акцента на длительности, поэтому используем Past Simple)

17. She … him for quite a long time. They are good friends.

B. has known (глагол know никогда не употребляется во временах группы Continuous, а так как здесь подчеркивается, что действие длится уже некоторое время, используем Present Perfect)

18. She .......... (have) a bath when the telephone rang.

A. was having (Past Continuous описывает длительное действие, которое было прервано коротким действием, выраженным глаголом в Past Simple)

19. I ______ 20 years old.

C. am (это форма глагола to be в Present Simple, соответствующая местоимению I)

20. Where ______ Gary and Cynthia live?

B. do (для выражения постоянного действия/характеристики людей используется Present Simple, поэтому вспомогательный глагол тут - do )
