He told the police that he always ……..the doors and windows to avoid being burgled.

a) locks                b) locked          

I think that both answers are correct. The first would mean that it’s a habit that he still does (which makes more sense to me) and the second implies that he used to do this before reporting the theft to the police. Am I right? Thanks for helping me out.

Hello, Rasha,

I agree with Ahmed_btm that both answers are correct. The natural answer is the backshifted one («locked»), though I have the impression that the Egyptian ministry of education does not allow you to use the natural choice here.

As to your interpretations,  the sentence with «locked» does not imply that he locked his doors and windows only before making the report to the police. It can be used if he was still in the habit at the time of the report.

If you want the before-the-report meaning, use the past perfect in the clause of reported speech: «He told the police that he had always locked the doors and windows to avoid being burgled.»

 Adding one more clause to the sentence above would force you to take one choice. For example:

He told the police that before he sleeps, he always locks the doors and windows to avoid being burgled.

Actually, Ahmed, even with the «before»-clause, «locked» is perfectly correct. However, the «before»-clause would also need to be backshifted, unlike the «before»-clause in your example. Here are suitable revisions of your example:

• He told the police that before he slept, he always locked the doors and windows to avoid being burgled.
  
• He told the police that he always locked the doors and windows before he slept, to avoid being burgled.

In the United States there’s a burglary almost every fifteen seconds, especially during the day when people aren’t at home. But don’t be afraid. There are a lot of things you can do to protect your housefrom burglars.

First of all, you shouldn’t let people you don’t know into your home. You should always look through the peephole before you open the door. It’s also a bad idea to leave money, jewellery or keys next to windows. Always lock all doors and windows when you leave the house, and if possible, installan alarm system and check it often to make sure it works properly.

Another way to protect your home is to make it look busy all the time. Leave the radio on when you are away and fit dusk-to-dawn lights in the garden. That way, anyone watching the house will think that someone is there.

Finally, join a Neighbourhood Watch programme and call the police the moment you see something unusual in your neighbourhood. And remember: never put up a fight with a burglar. Just hand over your valuables and then call the police. It’s better to be safe than sorry.

Never open the door before looking through the peephole. ………..
You shouldn’t leave your valuables close to windows. ………..
You don’t need to test your alarm system. ………..
Dusk-to dawn lights will make people think you’re home. ………..
Don’t leave the radio on when you are away ……..
