выбери правильный вариант

Okay, let's choose the correct verb tense for each sentence. Here are the answers with explanations:

1. I (have met / met) a lot of interesting people this year.

   • Correct: "have met". We use Present Perfect because the time period "this year" is not finished yet.

2. She (has broken / broke) her phone again!

   • Correct: "has broken". We use Present Perfect to emphasize the present result of a past action (the phone is broken now).

3. We (have been / were) to Paris last summer.

   • Correct: "were". "Last summer" is a finished time period, so we use Past Simple.

4. (Have you ever traveled / Did you ever travel) to Japan?

   • Correct: "Have you ever traveled". We use Present Perfect to ask about experiences in someone's life up to now.

5. They (have lived / lived) here since 2020.

   • Correct: "have lived". "Since 2020" indicates a period that started in the past and continues to the present, so we use Present Perfect.

6. He (has bought / bought) a new laptop yesterday.

   • Correct: "bought". "Yesterday" is a specific time in the past, so we use Past Simple.

7. I (have never eaten / never ate) sushi before.

   • Correct: "have never eaten". "Before" indicates up to now, so we use Present Perfect.

8. They (have finished / finished) their homework 10 minutes ago.

   • Correct: "finished". "10 minutes ago" is a specific time in the past, so we use Past Simple.

9. She (has gone / went) to the shop. She'll be back soon.

   • Correct: "has gone". "Has gone" means she is still at the shop and hasn't returned yet, which fits the "She'll be back soon" part.

10. We (have seen / saw) this film last week.

    • Correct: "saw". "Last week" is a finished time period, so we use Past Simple.
