a) Подбираем слово по смыслу и по соседним словам.
- a great time [greɪt] — «замечательно проводить время»: слово стоит перед существительным time, нужно прилагательное.
- three times a week — «три раза в неделю»: после числительного ставим times.
- I never miss them, even when it is not very windy — «я никогда не пропускаю их, даже когда нет ветра»: never («никогда») подходит к «even when…».
- a very exciting sport — «очень захватывающий вид спорта»: very усиливает прилагательное exciting.
- …sport and I want to buy… — «…и я хочу купить»: and соединяет два однородных высказывания.
- …interesting job, but the money is useful — «работа не очень интересная, НО деньги полезны»: but показывает противопоставление.
