1. Before they realised/have realised how much it would cost, the architect began/had begun drawing plans.
2. After the family has moved/moved in, they learned that the pipes had been leaking/leaked for a long time and the house wasn't worth the money they had paid for it.
3. We have listened/had been listening to the album for about ten minutes before we found/had found out that we bought/had bought the wrong one.
4. I have/had been waiting for over an hour when the bus finally arrived/had arrived.
My answers:
1. realised, had begun.
2. moved, had been leaking.
3. have listened, had found, bought.
4. had, arrived.
And please tell me, in these two sentences what idioms can replace part of the sentence in bold, "take it easy" or "live it up"?
1. I just want to stay home and relax this evening.
2. Let's go out tonight and really enjoy ourselves!
I think the first sentence can be replaced "relax" to "take it easy" and the second can be replaced "really enjoy ourselves" to "live it up". But if I'm wrong, then it should be the other way around ("relax" to "live it up" and "really enjoy ourselves" to "take it easy").
