Объяснение:

1 and 2 are perfect examples of Present Perfect forms. 'Since' is a usual marker that shows that we've got to use this tense form here.

In 3, we've got to use Present Continuous twice and then the verb 'think' in the Present Simple and the verb 'be' in the Future Simple. Present Continuous shows an action happening at the moment of speech. Be careful about the verb 'think' though, as it is used here in the meaning 'be of an opinion' and as such it isn't used in the Present Continuous. Future Simple denotes our forecast about actons in future.

4 - I've chosen Present Simple and Present Perfect for number 4, although other options are possible too. Eg, Do you know what professions is he going to choose as a career?

5 - I put everything in the past (Past Simple - a chain of actions - and Past Continuous), although I believe we could also say: As soon as she comes home, she will understand that her children are sleeping (are asleep). The only thing you should be careful about is not to used any future after 'as soon as'.

6 - Present Simple is most appropriate for the question. 'Have you got' or 'Do you have'... 'The' seems to be missing in front of the word 'ticket'. As for the answer, I'd say 'I'm afraid (Present Simple) I've left my purse at home (I wouldn't use 'forgot' here. But we are supposed to use Present Perfect no matter which of the verbs we come with.

7 'Made' is Past Simple of course. As for the time clause starting with 'when', we need to transform it slightly 'cause 'when being in France' doesn't sound grammatically correct. 'Be' is not used in such clauses denoting simultaneous actions in the past. So we can either say 'when we were in France' (Past Simple) or 'when in France' (omitting 'be' alltogether).

8 Present Simple. But a number of other options are possible. 'She never reads in the morning' (Present Simple negative with never), 'She wouldn't read in the morning' (modal 'would' to denote a resusal or recurrunt action), 'She didn't read in the morning' (Past Simple as a narrative about the past).

9 A good example of Present Continuous. Something which is happening at the moment.
