В данном упражнении требуется переписать предложения, используя времена Present Perfect или Past Simple.

1. Helen: Is it a new tennis racket?
Andy: No, I have had it for about a year, but I haven"t played with it very much. I bought it in Florida.

Переписываем:
Helen: Has it been a new tennis racket?
Andy: No, I had it for about a year, but I didn"t play with it very much. I bought it in Florida.

Обоснование:
Заменяем "Is it" на "Has it been", поскольку речь идет о времени, прошедшем с момента покупки ракетки. "I have had it" изменяем на "I had it", так как теперь речь идет о прошедшем времени.

2. Helen: When did you go to America?
Andy: I went there with my family in the spring.

Переписываем:
Helen: When have you gone to America?
Andy: I had gone there with my family in the spring.

Обоснование:
Во втором предложении нужно использовать Past Simple, так как речь идет о точном моменте в прошлом.

3. Helen: What was it like?
Andy: It was great! I stayed with my penfriend.

Переписываем:
Helen: What has it been like?
Andy: It had been great! I stayed with my penfriend.

Обоснование:
Заменяем "was it like" на "has it been like", поскольку речь идет о впечатлениях, полученных в результате пребывания. "It was great!" изменяем на "It had been great!", чтобы учесть правила использования времени в Past Simple.

4. Helen: Is your penfriend American?
Andy: Yes, I have had an American penfriend for two years. He came to England last summer.

Переписываем:
Helen: Has your penfriend been American?
Andy: Yes, I had had an American penfriend for two years. He came to England last summer.

Обоснование:
Во втором предложении заменяем "have had" на "had had", так как речь идет о прошедшем времени.

5. Helen: I didn"t meet him.
Andy: No, you were on holiday in Turkey.

Переписываем:
Helen: I haven"t met him.
Andy: No, you had been on holiday in Turkey.

Обоснование:
В первом предложении заменяем "didn"t meet" на "haven"t met", поскольку речь идет о прошлом времени, которое имеет отношение к настоящему. Во втором предложении заменяем "were" на "had been" для корректного использования Past Perfect.
