Answer 2

Sure, I can help you complete the sentences with the correct past perfect form of the verbs in brackets. Here are the completed sentences:

1. John was smiling because a) she had not found any shoes in her size. - In this sentence, we use the past perfect "had not found" to indicate that John's not finding shoes in her size occurred before he was smiling.

2. Jill was disappointed because b) her daughter had not passed her driving test. - Here, we use the past perfect "had not passed" to show that Jill's daughter's failure to pass the driving test happened before Jill's disappointment.

3. The woman was proud because c) he had not left work until 11.30 p.m. - The past perfect "had not left" indicates that the woman's not leaving work until 11.30 p.m. occurred before she felt proud.

4. Kate felt scared because d) he had received some good news. - We use the past perfect "had received" to show that Kate's receiving some good news happened before she felt scared.

5. Gareth was very tired because e) she had heard a loud noise. - The past perfect "had heard" indicates that Gareth's hearing a loud noise occurred before she became very tired.
