Question

Ребят, помогите найти глаголы в тексте в past simple (правильные и не правильные). The Map of the Underground Unlike many other capital cities in the world, London grew in its own way. The love of Londoners for traditional two-storied houses made the city grow wider instead of higher. There are few skyscrapers in the city. The big size of the city, however, needed an efficient traffic system that was able to link the centre with the distant residential districts. The London Underground, or the Tube, helped to solve the problem of transportation. Its eleven lines cover more than four hundred kilometers. They link more than two hundred and seventy stations. An average Londoner spends about twelve days a year travelling by the Underground. Since 1863, when the first section of the London Underground started working, there had been many attempts to show its structure on paper. But all the attempts failed for different reasons. At the beginning of the 20th century, mapping the Underground network was still a problem. In 1931 Harry Beck, a young engineer, suggested a map that displayed all the lines and stations but ignored the distances. Beck’s map looked like an electrical diagram because of the lines that went horizontally, diagonally or at different angles. Each line had a different colour. The map clearly explained how to get to the station you needed and where to change lines. Londoners and visitors to the capital liked the design and found it very useful. The Underground maps we use now are made according to the same idea of coloured lines.
