    Повторяющееся, постоянное действие в настоящем времени. Предполагается, что поезд регулярно отходит в 9 часов.

  2. has walked

    Слово today (сегодня) означает еще не истекший период времени. В таких случаях употребляется Present Perfect.

  3. pass, turn

    Верный вариант – pass , поскольку для выражения будущего времени после союзов when, after, until и т.д. употребляется Present Simple. Turn в данном случае означает повелительное наклонение, которое употребляется без окончания -s .

  4. has been training

    Обозначение времени for an hour указывает на употребление Present Perfect Continuous.

  5. has bought

    В данном случае говорящий сообщает о конкретном результате действия, а именно, что коттедж был куплен .

Задание 2.
  1. has not finished

    Слово yet (еще) указывает на время Present Perfect.

Задание 3.
Задание 4.
    W

    W

    Неверно, потому сочетание this time next week указывает на время Future Continuous, а не Future Simple.

    C

    Верно, потому что в данном случае с помощью Present Simple выражается общеизвестный, объективный факт .

    C

    Верно, потому что в данном случае Past Continuous употребляется для выражения одновременно протекавших в прошлом длительных действий .
