was present

Hallo,
kann mir vielleicht jemand sagen, welche Zeiten (fetten Wörter) man hier verwendet und warum?


Stallone himself was present at Sunday night's premiere at the TUI Operettenhaus, as were his co-producers, the Ukranian boxing brothers Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko. The actor told Sky News: "I really truly believe that this thing here is going to be extraordinarily successful. I don't know how it can fail because it's about the people."
He could well be right, since German newspapers were full of praise for the $15m (£9.45m) musical. The tabloid Bild exclaimed, "Rocky knocks Hamburg out", while headlines in the local press dubbed the musical "a triumph" and declared: "Big emotions; big theatre".

Danke!

Hi tom11,

magst Du uns bitte etwas entgegen kommen und selbst die Zeitformen bestimmen?! Ich bin sicher, dass Du das hinbekommst.

Kleiner Tipp: eine Reihe sind einfach mal Formen von "be", eine bestimmte Zeitform wird durch Anhängen von -ed an die Grundform gebildet, naja und das Present Tense wirst Du sicher auf Anhieb finden, nöch?! :wink:

Dann können wir Dir gerne noch mal darlegen, wie die Formen im einzelnen zu begründen sind.

Grüße
Duckduck :prost:
