1 Joan swam to the surface and shouted for help. There was no answer. (but)
2 We got home. My mum was waiting for us. (when)
3 The fire brigade arrived. They put out the fire. (and)
4 I saw her. I was coming out of the building. (as)
5 They had been looking for a flat for three months. They found one they liked. (before)
6 Bill couldn't sleep. There was too much noise. (because of)
-
but — «но», противопоставление: Джоан кричала, но ответа не было. Предложения соединяем «, but» и меняем There was no answer на there was no answer (с маленькой буквы).
-
when — «когда»: When we got home, my mum was waiting for us. Придаточное с when ставим в начало и после него пишем запятую. Можно и в конце: My mum was waiting for us when we got home.
-
and — «и»: две последовательные однородные части — приехали и потушили: The fire brigade arrived and put out the fire. Подлежащее They во втором предложении не повторяем.
-
as — «когда, в тот момент как» (два действия одновременно): I saw her as I was coming out of the building. Past Continuous (was coming out) показывает действие в процессе, в которое попало короткое «saw».
-
before — «прежде чем»: сначала действие, которое было раньше (искали три месяца — Past Perfect Continuous), потом более позднее (нашли — Past Simple): They had been looking for a flat for three months before they found one they liked.
-
because of — «из-за» + существительное (не предложение!). Поэтому too much noise превращаем в the noise: Bill couldn't sleep because of the noise (или because of too much noise).
