3. Put each verb in brackets into a suitable verb form:

It was announced in London this morning that the British Oil Corporation had discovered oil under the sea near the Welsh coast.

The company, which has been drilling for oil in the area since 2001, found small amounts of oil near Swansea last month, and since then has discovered larger amounts under the sea nearby. Last year the government lent over 50000000 to BOC, and gave permission for the company to build an oil refinery and other facilities in South Wales.

The reaction of local people to today’s news was mixed so far.

Local MPs have already welcomed the news, pointing out that the oil industry will bring badly needed jobs to the area.

But local residents are worried about the danger of pollution. “Nobody has asked us yet what we want,” said Anne Griffits, leader of the Keep Out the Oil Campaign.

“Look what happened when they found oil in Scotland in the 1960s.

The oil companies got rich, not the local people.

BOC didn’t tell us the truth about what it is going to mean for our people.”

A BOC spokesman later refused to comment.

Meanwhile local campaigners ask the government to hold an inquiry.
