Согласование по времени и числу. There is/are - Present (настоящее), there was/were - Past (прошедшее), there will be - Future (будущее, для обоих чисел одинаковая конструкция). Время и число понимается из контекста.
3. - there is потому что число определяется по первому слову, относящемуся к конструкции, а piano - это ед. число.
4. - there were потому что в следующем предложении спрашивают, где конфеты сейчас, значит логично, что в предыдущем говорили о конфетах в прошедшем, они ЛЕЖАЛИ на столе.
9. - there will be, т.к. он надеется, значит либо настоящее, либо будущее, а раз тут про новую библиотеку, значит подходит будущее.
10. - there was, there are, т.к. показывается контраст, в первом случае что было 2 дня назад, а во втором что теперь.
Слова now, tomorrow, yesterday, ago - показатели времени.
Now - сейчас, теперь (наст. время)
Tomorrow - завтра (буд. время)
Yesterday - вчера (прош. время)
Ago - назад (два дня, месяц, год и т.д.; прош. время)
Все остальные пропуски заполняются аналогично.
Hello, Andrew. Let me tell you about my best friend. His name is Timur, he is 15. We are best friends since we were kids - our parents are best friends too. We went to the same kindergarden and we are in the same class in school now. Timur is great - he is good-looking, very kind, honest and brave young man. We spend all our free time together - we go to school together, we do our homework together, we go shooping and clubbing together.
<span>Using computers and the internet develops important skills in young
people. Teens can visit different countries and cities. They meet new people
and communicate with their peers from different countries. They learn a lot
about the life of people from other countries. Young people find a lot of
useful information in the Internet.
Technology has created less free time rather than more. Teenagers spend much
time chatting and living in virtual world. They have no time for real
communication with their peers.
Another interesting feature of computer is to share files with different
devices. If you follow the simple instructions you will be able to access your
music library, a collection of movies, and photos from vacation on a laptop, 2
in 1 device, tablet and smartphone. Thanks to the transfer of files, all your
data will always be at your fingertips, and you can even show them to your
friends!
Thanks to computer and devices 2 in 1 streaming the music has ceased to be a
tedious process of waiting spool files. If you connect your favorite stations
Internet radio or even in your own home library you will be able to enjoy
your music without a hitch, interference or outages.You can use your computer
to play DVDs, watch streaming video online, or even connect to the account
Netflix* or Hulu* for movies!
With Internet connection you will be able to stream and watch your favorite TV
shows using Hulu*, Youtube*, Vimeo* or other web sites from anywhere in the
world. Many TV shows can be watched directly on the websites of channels.
But children need more play time in order to develop into healthy adults.
They should spend much more time in the fresh air. Adolescents should keen on
sport: swimming, athletics and others. Computer games are not useful for
their health.</span>
