Answer 1

The first action is: "Nick found the key that I had lost last week."
The second action is: "They had spoken to him before they went home."

However, it seems that there is a numbering discrepancy in the provided sentences. After the second action, the numbering jumps to 6, and there is no sentence numbered as 4 or 5. If there are more sentences, please provide them so I can help you determine the first and second actions.

Answer 2

The actions in the given sentences are:

1. Nick found the key that I had lost last week.
2. They had spoken to him before they went home.
3. After he had sold his car, he bought a new one.
4. She showed us the pictures she had taken.
5. The house was very quiet because everybody had gone to sleep.
6. After she had brushed her teeth, she went to bed.

Now, let's determine which action was the first and which one was the second in each sentence:

1. The first action was "I had lost the key last week," and the second action was "Nick found the key."
2. The first action was "They had spoken to him," and the second action was "they went home."
3. The first action was "he had sold his car," and the second action was "he bought a new one."
4. The first action was "She had taken pictures," and the second action was "She showed us the pictures."
5. The first action was "Everybody had gone to sleep," and the second action was "The house was very quiet."
6. The first action was "She had brushed her teeth," and the second action was "she went to bed."
