Default pretty big story:(

Could somebody put the words in brackets in the right form??

Jane and Andy________(wait) at the airport in Cape town to catch
their plane back to London. They _______(be) on honeymoon in South
Africa for four weeks and they_______(feel) very relaxed.
They_____(not wait) long when their flight_____(announce) over the
tannoy :"Flight to London _____(leave) in one hour." As
they______(make) their way to Gate 4, Jane and Andy_______(hear)
another announcement:"Flight to New York________(delay) due to a
technical fault. Will passengers please go to Gate5 and wait there for
further information"
"Oh dear!" said Jane"I ______(hope)people _______(not get)
confused. What ________(happen) if someone ____(get) on the wrong
flight?"
"_____(be) silly", said Andy."All boarding cards______(check)before
anyone______(allow)to board the plane"
They arrived at Gate4. Two hours later they still______(not board)
their plane, and no explanation______(give). Then were both flights
ready.
"At last!"said Jane"We_______(wait) at this airport for nearly five
hours by the time our plane_______(take)off!"
There were only two flight attendants checking boarding cards. They
worked very quickly and soon Jane and Andy______(sit) comfortably in
their seats.
"Good evening!"said the pilot"Welcome to flight to New York"
Jane and Andy both______(leap) to their feet and run to the front of
the plane. Fortunately the pilot _________(not start) the engines and
they_________(lead) from one flight to another.

"Phew!"I_______(have) enough surprises for one day."said
Andy"This______(not be) a very relaxing end to our holiday, has it. We
need another holiday! Where________we_____(go)next year? "

"Well" said Jane"as we _____(have) a baby by then, maybe we should
just stay at home"
"Pardon? What did you say?"

Why don’t you try some of them yourself first?

The idea is not to do your homework, but to help you where you have doubts or questions. I will do this part for you this once, but I will not do the second part. I am happy to help you learn how to do the work for yourself, but not to do it for you. Our job is to help people learn how to learn.

their plane back to London. They _______had been (be) on honeymoon in South
Africa for four weeks and they_______were feeling (feel) very relaxed.

As a teacher, I do understand that exercises need doing quickly, which is why I have helped this time. Your job is to look through it and think why I have made the choices that I have. Next time ask me a question that you have thought about first and need help with.

"Pardon? What did you say?"
