Last year I went with my family to New York. We visited my parents' old friends. New York impressed me. Do you know that the Dutch made the city? They called it New Amsterdam. I think the heart of New York is Broadway, and it is the heart of the American theatre industry. It got its name in the 18th century. The name Broadway is the English translation of the Dutch name. The street runs 15 miles (24 km) through Manhattan and the Bronx. There are about 40 theatres there. We were lucky to get tickets and saw a wonderful musical "Mary Poppins."

Let's break down each verb form and why it is used:

1. went - Past simple tense is used because the action happened last year.
2. visited - Past simple tense is used because the action happened in the past.
3. made - Past simple tense is used to describe a historical fact.
4. called - Past simple tense is used because it refers to the naming of the city in the past.
5. is - Present simple tense is used because it is a general truth or fact.
6. is - Present simple tense is used again for explaining a general fact.
7. got - Past simple tense is used because it refers to when Broadway received its name in the 18th century.
8. is - Present simple tense is used to describe the current name's translation.
9. runs - Present simple tense is used to describe a fact about the street's length and path.
10. are - Present simple tense is used to state the current number of theatres.
11. were - Past simple tense is used to describe a past event.
12. saw - Past simple tense is used to describe an event that happened during the visit.

These verb forms help to clearly distinguish between past events and present facts, ensuring the text is grammatically correct and easy to understand.
