Question

Помогите пожалуйста, нужно найти сказуемое в каждом предложении и определить его временную форму.


Vicar Peter Newman is celebrating success – he has finally passed his driving test. He has been learning to drive for past 17 years, and he has had a total of 632 lessons.

Peter, 34, has spent over 9000 pounds sterling on tuition, he has had 8 different instructors, and he has crashed his car five times. Then, one week ago he changed to an automatic car – and he passed his test immediately. He said last night, “I’ve been praying for a driving licence for over half of my life, and at last my prayers have been answered.”

Peter began driving at the age of 17. “It was in the country,” he said, “and I was doing quite well until one morning, in narrow lane, I saw a tractor coming towards me. I panicked and drove into a ten-foot hedge.”

Peter said, “My big problem was confusing the clutch and the brake. I was absolutely hopeless. My instructors have been telling me for years that I would never pass, but I was determined to prove them wrong. Many of them have turned grey because of me!”

The turning-point came when Peter tried an automatic car and took his test again – for the fifty-sixth time.

He said, “When I was told I’d passed, I went down on my kneels and thanked God.”

So how has he been celebrating? “I’ve been visiting all my relatives and people who live in the remote villages around here. I haven’t seen some of them for years because I haven’t been able to get to them. Now I can go anywhere!”
