Answer 2

Let's go through each sentence to determine the correct options:

1. We already had / have already had breakfast. Both "had" and "have had" are correct, but "have already had" indicates that the action happened in the recent past, so it's the better choice. Therefore, the correct option is: "We have already had breakfast."

2. We had / have had dinner half an hour ago. "Had" refers to a specific past time, and "have had" is used for an action that happened in the past with a connection to the present. Since the time "half an hour ago" is mentioned, the correct option is: "We had dinner half an hour ago."

3. She didn’t hear / hasn’t heard from her aunt lately. "Hasn't heard" suggests that the action of not hearing from her aunt is still relevant to the present, so the correct option is: "She hasn’t heard from her aunt lately."

4. What did he say / has he said a minute ago? The phrase "a minute ago" refers to a specific past time, so the correct option is: "What did he say a minute ago?"

5. I just bought / have just bought some ice cream for the children. "Have just bought" indicates that the action happened in the very recent past, so the correct option is: "I have just bought some ice cream for the children."

6. When did she return / has she returned from the airport? The use of "when" suggests that the action is referring to a specific past time, so the correct option is: "When did she return from the airport?"

7. How many pages did Clara type / has Clara typed since morning? The use of "since morning" suggests that the action is still relevant to the present, so the correct option is: "How many pages has Clara typed since morning?"

8. Max washed / has washed his hands and went / has gone to the kitchen. The sentence needs to be in the same tense throughout. "Has washed" and "has gone" are the correct choices. Therefore, the correct option is: "Max has washed his hands and has gone to the kitchen."

9. Did you see / have you seen your coach yesterday? "Yesterday" indicates a specific past time, so the correct option is: "Did you see your coach yesterday?"

10. I knew / have known Jack for ages. "Have known" is appropriate here as it suggests that the action started in the past and has continued up to the present, so the correct option is: "I have known Jack for ages."

So, the correct choices are:

1. We have already had breakfast.
2. We had dinner half an hour ago.
3. She hasn’t heard from her aunt lately.
4. What did he say a minute ago?
5. I have just bought some ice cream for the children.
6. When did she return from the airport?
7. How many pages has Clara typed since morning?
8. Max has washed his hands and has gone to the kitchen.
9. Did you see your coach yesterday?
10. I have known Jack for ages.
