THE PAST PERFECT TENSE
Exercise 1
Раскройте скобки, употребляя глаголы в Past Perfect.
I can't believe I got that apartment. I submitted my application last week, but I didn't think I had a chance of actually getting it. When I showed up to take a look around, there were at least twenty other people who (arrive) before me. Most of them (fill, already) out their applications and were already leaving. The landlord said I could still apply, so I did.
I tried to fill out the form, but I couldn't answer half of the questions. They wanted me to include references, but I didn't want to list my previous landlord because I (have) some problems with him in the past and I knew he wouldn't recommend me. I ended up listing my father as a reference.
It was total luck that he decideed to give me the apartment. It turns out that the landlord and my father went to high school together. He decided that I could have the apartment before he looked at my credit report. I really lucked out!
