Answer 2

Certainly! Let's complete the sentences using the appropriate tenses.

1) Many British critics wrote that The King’s Speech was the best film of the year 2010. They said it marked the rebirth of the British film industry.

2) John was sure that film-makers used the press to sell their product to the public.

3) Alice answered that she really enjoyed the movie.

4) The film director said he made a funny comedy.

5) We mentioned that we had already bought tickets.

Here's a breakdown of the choices:

- In sentence 1, we use "wrote" (past simple) because the critics expressed their opinion in the past. "Marked" is in the past simple because it follows the events described in the past tense.

- In sentence 2, "was sure" and "used" are in the past simple because John's certainty and the use of the press occurred in the past.

- In sentence 3, "answered" is in the past simple, and "enjoyed" is in the past simple because Alice expressed her enjoyment in the past.

- In sentence 4, "said" is in the past simple, and "made" is in the past simple because the director's statement and the making of the comedy both happened in the past.

- In sentence 5, "mentioned" is in the past simple, and "had already bought" is in the past perfect because buying tickets happened before the mentioning, and we use past perfect to show an action completed before another action in the past.
