Помогите поставить глаголы в нужное время Today most large passenger planes can cross the Atlantic Ocean...

Today most large passenger planes can cross the Atlantic Ocean in less than seven hours and the fastest airplane can fly at more than 3,000 kilometres per hour. This is three times faster than the speed of sound. People once believed that planes couldn't fly faster than sound. This became possible since 1947 when an American pilot broke the sound barrier.

Aircraft are the fastest way to travel because they fly straight over mountains and oceans. They have lots of modern technology, such as computers, to help them be fast and safe and are made of special strong, lightweight metals and plastics.

Space flight is now a reality and not just something we read about in books. The first space flight took place in 1957. Two inventions made space flight possible. The first was the rocket engine, which can work in space and now reaches speeds of over 28,000 kilometres per hour. The second was the computer, which is needed to guide the spaceship once it is away from Earth and up in space. People can make long space flights on space stations and may stay there for weeks or months. If you look at the sky through a telescope you will find a lot of satellites that orbit our planet at the moment.

And the future? Who knows? There is no end to inventions and progress. Maybe we will soon be able to buy a ticket for a Moon flight!

Let's fill in the blanks with the correct verb forms:

1. Today most large passenger planes can cross the Atlantic Ocean in less than seven hours and the fastest airplane can fly at more than 3,000 kilometers per hour.

• Explanation: The verb "can" is a modal verb and is followed by the base form of the verb, which in this case is "fly."

1. People once believed that planes couldn’t fly faster than sound.

• Explanation: The word "once" suggests a past action, so the past simple tense "believed" is appropriate.

1. This has become possible since 1947 when an American pilot broke the sound barrier.

• Explanation: The phrase "since 1947" indicates that the action started in the past and continues to the present, so the present perfect tense "has become" is used. "Broke" is the past simple form of "break," which is used to describe an action completed in the past.

1. When an American pilot broke the sound barrier.

• Explanation: This sentence speaks about a specific event that happened in the past, so the past simple tense "broke" is used.

1. Aircraft are made of special strong, lightweight metals and plastics.

• Explanation: The passive voice is used here because the focus is on what the aircraft are made of, not on who makes them. Therefore, "are made" is the correct form.

1. Space flight is now a reality and not just something we read about in books.

• Explanation: Here, the present simple tense "read" is used because it is a general statement about what people do.

1. The first space flight took place in 1957.

• Explanation: This is a specific event that happened in the past, so the past simple tense "took" is appropriate.

1. The first was the rocket engine, which can work in space and now it reaches speeds of over 28,000 kilometers per hour.

• Explanation: The present simple tense "reaches" is used here to describe a general fact about the rocket engine.

1. If you look at the sky through a telescope you will find a lot of satellites that are orbiting our planet at the moment.

• Explanation: The present continuous tense "are orbiting" is used to describe an action that is happening right now.

1. Maybe we will be able soon to buy a ticket for a Moon flight!

• Explanation: The phrase "will be able" is the future form of "can," indicating a possibility or ability in the future.
