Englisch Übungen

Hallo.

Da bin ich wieder mit zwei neuen Übungen. Bei der letzten hatte ich recht wenig Resonanz bekommen. Entweder ich war so gut (lol) oder es wurde etwas übersehen. Auf jeden Fall war ich wieder fleißig und habe noch ein paar Übungen. Falls nichts weiter zu beanstanden gibt, könnt ihr mir das ruhig auch mitteilen. So etwas motiviert auch, so mal ich im Grunde mit Englisch stets Probleme habe/hatte.

Wie immer schon einmal danke im Voraus.

Hallo.

Danke für die schnelle Antwort. Ich habe dennoch eine Frage bezüglich d). Wieso muss ich hier das continuous past nehmen. Laut meines Wissens müsste es auf Grund des Wortes „already“ Present Perfect sein. Aber das stand ja leider nicht zur Auswahl.

Und bei c) „had prevented“ oder nur „prevented“? Das konnte ich jetzt nicht genau zuordnen.

Vielen Dank für die Korrektur.

Das doppelte „already“ geht nicht - das erste muss weg. Elbbatz

Present perfect, wenn die Geschichte in der Gegenwart spielt. In deinem falle spielt sich das Ganze aber in der Vergangenhaait ab, also brauchst du das present perfect aus Sicht der Vergangenheit. Und das ist halt past perfect.
