Объяснение:
Задание 1. Present Simple используем для действий, которые происходят регулярно (каждый день чищу зубы), Present Continious - для действий, происходящих в текущий момент времени (я сейчас играю на гитаре)
Задание 2. Present Perfect - действие имеет отношение к настоящему времени, хотя и произошло в я был в Риме - это как статус на настоящий момент времени), в этом времени не важно КОГДА произошло действие, важен сам факт Также сюда относим действия с указанием текущего времени: сегодня, этим утром, в этом месяце. Past Simple - действие произошло в и часто в самом предложении есть на это указание (вчера, в году). Например: я вчера ходил в кино.
Задание 3. С короткими прилагательными в сравнительной степени используем окончание er (tall - taller), с длинными слово more перед прилагательным.
Превосходная степень: мы говорим о предмете, что он самый-самый – «самый красивый». К коротким словам добавляем -est. С такими словами почти всегда идёт артикль the. Длинные слова не изменяем, но ставим перед словом most.
