Ответ

1. The main tense used in the article is the Past Simple, because the newspaper reports a finished story in the past.

2. The events are told in the order they happened: Georgia tried to reach the dog, slipped into the water, Sophie swam to her, Georgia held on to Sophie, and they got back to the bank. The tenses are used this way to show the sequence of past events clearly.

3. The tenses that help us understand the order of events are Past Simple and Past Perfect.

4. She was told to keep away from the water before she went to the river. We know this because the action of being told happened earlier than the accident.
