Great Iron Chest. Part 3

When the princess saw the young man, she liked him very much. She began to work as hard as she could. She thought she had never seen anyone so handsome. She knew she would make him free soon. And she did.

The Prince took her hand and said he had been under the spell all those years. He had suffered a lot. He thanked the Princess as she had saved him.

He told her he wanted them to go to his father's kingdom and expected her to marry him. The Princess agreed because she had already fallen in love with the young man.

But she asked him to let her go first to her father's palace and say goodbye to her old father. The Prince agreed though he did not look pleased.

He wanted the Princess to speak no more than three words to her father and then come back to him immediately.

Объяснение грамматики

1. Past Simple используется для последовательных действий в прошлом. Например:

• She liked him very much. — Он ей очень понравился.

• The Prince took her hand. — Принц взял её за руку.

• The Princess agreed. — Принцесса согласилась.

2. Past Perfect (had + третья форма глагола) используется для действий, которые произошли раньше других событий в прошлом.

• She had never seen anyone so handsome. — Она никогда раньше не видела никого настолько красивого.

• He had been under the spell all those years. — Все эти годы он находился под действием заклятия.

• She had already fallen in love. — Она уже влюбилась.

3. Future in the Past (would + глагол) выражает будущее с точки зрения прошлого.

She knew she would make him free soon. — Она знала, что скоро освободит его.

4. Инфинитив с to и без to:

• began to work — начала работать;

• wanted them to go — хотел, чтобы они отправились;

• expected her to marry him — ожидал, что она выйдет за него замуж;

• asked him to let her go — попросила его позволить ей уйти.

После let используется инфинитив без to: let her go. Поэтому в ответе № 25 пишется go, а не to go.

5. Отрицание в Past Simple образуется с помощью did not + начальная форма глагола.

He did not look pleased. — Он не выглядел довольным.

Обратите внимание: в исходном задании, вероятно, есть две опечатки. В предложении № 23 по смыслу должно быть her father's palace (дворец её отца), а в предложении № 27 — The Prince agreed (принц согласился), поскольку далее говорится, что он выглядел недовольным. В полном тексте выше эти неточности исправлены.
