Determining the Time

To determine the time for each statement, we need to analyze the verb tenses used in the sentences. Based on the information provided, we can determine the time for each statement as follows:

1) "I hadn't seen my cousin since they were children." - The past perfect tense "hadn't seen" indicates an action that occurred before a specific point in the past. - The use of "since they were children" suggests that the last time the speaker saw their cousin was when they were children. - Therefore, the time for this statement is in the past, before the present moment.

2) "I left my hometown five years ago." - The past tense "left" indicates an action that occurred in the past. - The use of "five years ago" specifies the time when the speaker left their hometown. - Therefore, the time for this statement is five years before the present moment.

3) "While I was studying for my exams, my sister was flying to Paris." - The past continuous tense "was studying" indicates an ongoing action in the past. - The past continuous tense "was flying" indicates an ongoing action in the past. - The use of "while" suggests that the two actions were happening simultaneously. - Therefore, the time for this statement is in the past, during the time the speaker was studying for their exams.

4) "I was walking in the sunshine last." - The past continuous tense "was walking" indicates an ongoing action in the past. - The sentence is incomplete and lacks information about the specific time. - Without further context, it is unclear when this action took place.

5) "Last winter, I had the flu for three weeks." - The past tense "had" indicates an action that occurred in the past. - The use of "last winter" specifies the time when the speaker had the flu. - Therefore, the time for this statement is during the previous winter.

6) "I went to America for my holidays last summer." - The past tense "went" indicates an action that occurred in the past. - The use of "last summer" specifies the time when the speaker went to America. - Therefore, the time for this statement is during the previous summer.

7) "At five o'clock yesterday afternoon." - The phrase "at five o'clock yesterday afternoon" specifies the time. - Therefore, the time for this statement is at five o'clock yesterday afternoon.

8) "I joined a new English class last January, and by June, I had taken my exam." - The past tense "joined" indicates an action that occurred in the past. - The past perfect tense "had taken" indicates an action that occurred before a specific point in the past. - The use of "last January" and "by June" specifies the time frame when the speaker joined the English class and took the exam. - Therefore, the time for this statement is from last January to June of the same year.

Please note that the fourth statement lacks specific information about the time, so it cannot be determined accurately without further context.
