Answer 2

1) I (saw) Jack last night. 2) Oh, really. I (haven't seen) him for months. How is he? 3) We (went) to the theater last Saturday. Did you enjoy the play? 4) Yes, it (was) very good.

Here's the explanation for each sentence:

1) "I saw Jack last night." - Here, we use the past simple tense because the action of seeing Jack is in the past, and we specify the time as "last night."

2) "Oh, really. I haven't seen him for months." - We use the present perfect tense here because the focus is on the present result (not seeing Jack for months) that started in the past and continues to the present.

3) "We went to the theater last Saturday. Did you enjoy the play?" - The first sentence is in the past simple tense because the action of going to the theater happened last Saturday. In the second sentence, we use the past simple tense in the question ("Did you enjoy the play?") to ask about a specific event in the past.

4) "Yes, it was very good." - In the response, we use the past simple tense because the play was in the past, and we describe its quality in the past tense.
