Task 4. Complete the text with was, were, wasn't or weren't. It was a terrible party. There 1 many people. There 2 a lot of food, but there 3 any drinks. There 4 a big table for the food, but there 5 any chairs! There 6 some CDs, but there 7 a CD player!

Ok, let's solve the task step by step.

Task 4. Complete the text with was, were, wasn't, or weren't.

"It was a terrible party. There 1 many people."

Since we are talking about multiple people, we should use "were" instead of "was." Therefore, the correct answer is "There were many people."

"There 2 a lot of food, but there 3 any drinks."

In this sentence, we have to use "was" because we are talking about a lot of food as a singular noun. On the other hand, we have to use "were" to describe the absence of drinks. So, the correct answers are "There was a lot of food, but there weren't any drinks."

"There 4 a big table for the food, but there 5 any chairs!"

Similar to the previous sentence, we have to use "was" for "a big table" and "were" for "any chairs." The correct answers are "There was a big table for the food, but there weren't any chairs!"

"There 6 some CDs, but there 7 a CD player!"

Again, we need to use "were" for "some CDs" and "was" for "a CD player." The correct answers are "There were some CDs, but there wasn't a CD player!"

To summarize:
1. There were many people.
2. There was a lot of food, but there weren't any drinks.
3. There was a big table for the food, but there weren't any chairs.
4. There were some CDs, but there wasn't a CD player.
