Привет! Давай разберем твои задания по английскому языку. ### Задания на раскрытие скобок (грамматика, Reported Speech): 8) The prince asked whether Tom's sister **let** her servants smile. (Согласование времен: если в главном предложении *asked* (прошедшее время), то *let* остается *let*, так как это неправильный глагол). 9) The prince said that Tom **spoke** well. (Согласование времен: *say* -> *said*, значит *speak* -> *spoke*). 10) Tom told the prince what a good time he and his comrades **had** in summer: they **swam** in the river and **fought** in the water. (Согласование времен: *had*, *swam*, *fought*). 11) The little prince and Tom **stood** side by side before a great mirror. (Прошедшее время: *stood*). 12) The prince **thought** where to put that little thing. (Прошедшее время: *thought*). ### 4. Prove that: * **1) Tom looked like the little prince:** They had the same hair, eyes, facial features, and build. Even the royal guards couldn't tell them apart at first glance. * **2) Tom's speech was correct and beautiful:** Despite living in the slums (Offal Court), Tom was educated by a kind priest who taught him Latin and how to speak properly, and Tom often read old books. * **3) The little prince's life was dull:** He lived in a strict court, surrounded by etiquette, tutors, and protocols, lacking the freedom and simple games that ordinary boys enjoyed. ### 5. Imagine that you are: * **Tom:** * a) I wandered into the palace grounds, starving and curious, and the guards mistook me for an intruder until the prince himself intervened. * b) When we looked into the mirror, it was like seeing a reflection. We were identical in every way, and I felt a strange mixture of awe and confusion. * **The little prince:** * a) I saw a hungry boy near the gates and invited him in to hear stories about his life. * b) I suggested we swap clothes just for fun to see what it felt like to be someone else. * c) I ran out of the palace because I was so angry at the guard for mistreating the boy, and I didn't think about the consequences at the time. ### 6. What is your opinion? * 1) It would be very difficult to tell them apart just by looking. One would have to observe their manners and how they speak. * 2) No, I would look at their behavior and how they treat others. The prince is used to being served, while Tom is much more humble and cautious.
