5. to get
6. doesn't feel
7. is waiting
8. have been
9. would have

2. 根据 sooner 可知是过去没有早点说，用一般过去时的否定，借助 didn't，后接动词原形 say。
3. find sb. doing sth. 表示发现某人正在做某事，lie 的现在分词是 lying。
4. 根据主句 saw 可知是过去时态，那个男人当时正在大喊，用过去进行时 was shouting。
5. 此处用动词不定式作后置定语，修饰 the way，所以是 to get。
6. 主语是 The surface，feel 是系动词，描述主语特征用一般现在时的主动表被动，否定形式是 doesn't feel。
7. 根据 now 可知是现在正在进行的动作，用现在进行时 is waiting。
8. since 引导的时间状语从句，主句常用现在完成时，there be 句型的现在完成时是 there have/has been，fewer accidents 是复数，所以用 have been。

10. 根据 last week 可知是一般过去时，机器人是被挑选，用被动语态 were chosen。
