Ответ:
The other day my sister Charis and her husband told me some excellent news. They said they **had** a baby, and that I **would soon be** an uncle! They said they **had found out** the week before, but wanted to be sure everything was OK before they told me. The doctor said he **had been** worried at first because my sister **had been** ill recently, but he checked carefully and the baby is healthy. They asked me **if I had** any ideas about her name. I told them I **wanted** to call her Carla because my name's Carl. Unfortunately, they said they **didn't like** that idea!
So the correct answers are:
1. a) had
2. c) would soon be
3. b) had found out
4. c) had been
5. c) had been
6. b) if I had
7. b) wanted
8. a) didn't like
