1. A: (Did you hear) the thunder last
night? B: No, I didn't. I (didn't hear) anything all night. I (was) asleep.
2. A: Listen! (Do you hear) a siren in the distance? B: No, I don't. I (don't hear)
anything at all.
3. A: (Did you build) that bookshelf? B: No, I didn't. My uncle (built) it for
me.
4. A: (Is a fish) slippery to hold? B: Yes, it is. It can slip right out of
your hand. A: How about frogs? (Are they) slippery? B: Yes, they are. A: What
about snakes? B: I (don't know). I’ve never touched a snake.
5. A: I (want) to go to the mall this afternoon and (to look) for a new bathing
suit. (Do you want) to go with me? B: I can’t. I (have) an appointment with my
English teacher. Besides, I (bought) a new bathing suit last year. I (don't need)
a new one this year.
6. I (offer) to help my older neighbor carry her groceries into her house every
time I see her return from the store. She (is) always very grateful. Yesterday,
she (offered) to pay me for helping her, but of course I (didn't accept) the
offer.
7. Last Monday night, I (took) my sister and her husband to my favorite
restaurant for dinner and (found) the doors locked. I (didn't know) it then,
but my favorite restaurant (isn't open) on Mondays. We (didn't want) to eat
anywhere else, so we (went) back to my house. I (made) a salad and (heated) some
soup. Everyone (seemed) satisfied even though I (am not) a wonderful cook.
8. My daughter is twenty-one years old. She (likes) to travel. My wife and I
(worry) about her a little when she (is) away from home, but we also (trust) her
judgment. Last year, after she (graduated) from the college, she (went) to
Europe with two of her friends. They (didn't travel) by train or by car.
Instead, they (rented) motor scooters and slowly (rode) through each country
they visited. While she (was) away, my wife and I (worried) about her safety.
We (were) very happy when we (saw) her smiling face at the airport and (knew) that
she was finally safe at home.
