Конечно! Давайте разберем каждое предложение и подберем правильную форму глаголов в скобках:

1. It was late on Friday afternoon. Mr. Brown was walking home from work.

   • Здесь используется Past Continuous, потому что действие (идет домой) длится в определенный момент в прошлом.

2. There was a big lorry outside his block of flats. “Somebody is moving,” he thought.

   • Past Simple, так как это завершенное действие в прошлом.

3. He was standing outside the front door when he saw two men at the door.

   • "was standing" — Past Continuous, потому что действие длительное и происходило в момент другого действия (он видел мужчин).
   • "saw" — Past Simple, поскольку это завершенное действие в прошлом.

4. They were carrying a huge TV.

   • Past Continuous, так как это длительное действие в прошлом.

5. Mr. Brown held the door open for them, they thanked him and they loaded the TV into the lorry.

   • Все три действия завершенные, поэтому используются формы Past Simple: "held," "thanked," "loaded."

6. Then, Mr. Brown went upstairs to his flat on the second floor.

   • Past Simple, так как это завершенное действие в прошлом.

7. He was looking for his keys when he realized his door was open.

   • "was looking" — Past Continuous, потому что действие длительное и происходило в момент другого действия.
   • "realized" — Past Simple, так как это завершенное действие в прошлом.

8. He remembered the two men with the TV and he nearly fainted!

   • Оба действия завершенные, поэтому используются формы Past Simple: "remembered," "fainted."

9. The two men were thieves and the TV they were carrying was his TV!

   • "were" — Past Simple, так как это утверждение о факте в прошлом.
   • "were carrying" — Past Continuous, потому что действие (несли телевизор) было длительным.

Итак, весь текст с правильными формами глаголов будет выглядеть так:

It was late on Friday afternoon. Mr. Brown was walking home from work. There was a big lorry outside his block of flats. “Somebody is moving,” he thought. He was standing outside the front door when he saw two men at the door. They were carrying a huge TV. Mr. Brown held the door open for them, they thanked him and they loaded the TV into the lorry.
