Правильные формы глаголов и краткое пояснение выбора времени

1. Kevin has lost his key. He left it on the bus yesterday.
   Present Perfect ─ результат виден сейчас (ключа нет); Past Simple ─ конкретное время «yesterday».

2. I haven’t played tennis since I was at school, but I went there on their honeymoon in 1967.
   Present Perfect с «since» описывает период до настоящего; Past Simple указывает на завершённое действие в 1967 г.

3. A: Haven’t you chosen your old car yet?
   B: Yes, I bought one yesterday.
   «Yet» требует Present Perfect в вопросе; покупка вчера — Past Simple.

4. A: Haven’t you sold your old car yet?
   B: Yes, my cousin gave me £500 for it last week.
   Аналогично: вопрос о результате до настоящего, ответ с указанием времени «last week».

5. I think our teacher has forgotten about the test! He didn’t say anything about it in the last lesson!
   Забывание актуально сейчас ─ Present Perfect; «in the last lesson» ─ точный момент ⇒ Past Simple.

   Сломанная нога — факт настоящего; падение произошло «last week».

    «Since last year» требует Present Perfect; встреча — завершённое событие.

    Отсутствие опыта до сих пор — Present Perfect; прошлое желание и невозможность — Past Simple.
