. L" i- S' i3 r0 z
$ }; y0 G7 V# }' f7 q1. don’t -> didn’t
2 G8 k- H  h7 `# \would rather后面的that从句中，谓语动词要用过去式表示虚拟。
/ x5 X. b4 j5 N5 m" [( x% ~2. discovered前加were或去掉that
题中that定语从句的先行词是problems，因此谓语动词要用被动语态，表示“调查完成后所（被）发现的问题”。或者去掉that，直接用discovered作problems的定语。
3. seem -> seemed
0 y- V: ], y; @% q4. has -> have
此处I am referring to是修饰the law的定语从句，谓语是requires（要求）。在表示愿望（wish）、建议（suggest, advise, recommend）、请求、命令（order）等语气的词后面跟的从句，该从句的谓语动词形式均为should + 动词原形，should可以省略。本题The law I am referring to requires everyone who owns a car ( should) have accident insurance.，所以要把has改为have。
4 _& k; V! }3 U, u2 w0 B0 i) q5. established前加be
' y& k3 S4 D9 R1 @6. send -> sent
  |& p# x" K5 P  [$ D) f此处是have sth done，表示“让..（被）做”。此处的意思是“消息（被）直接发去给司令”。
7. won’t -> wouldn’t
时间词now所表述的情况与现在事实相反，所以主句谓语动词应该用“would+动词原形”形式，表是虚拟。
8. are -> were
3 T6 p" {" u/ Kthat 后面是修饰jobs的定语从句，在该从句里有时间状语once，表示“曾经，一度”，因此在从句里面的谓语动词要用过去时。
9. worked前加had
# X1 R' g9 i/ I( m此句应用与过去事实相反的虚拟语气形式，故应将从句部分的谓语动词worked改为had worked。
10. have前加will
7 I# N+ M+ }7 A3 w2 n( B9 o. ~从句由by引导，主句应该用完成时。再根据By the time he is 25，表明Tom现在还没到25岁，因此主句要用将来完成时来表示将要完成的动作。本句句意为：到他25岁时他几乎去过世界所有地方了。
