Решение:

• 1. I went on holiday to Switzerland last year with my family. (Past Simple, так как указано конкретное время в прошлом 'last year').
• 2. My aunt has taken her driving test ten times, but she keeps failing! (Present Perfect, так как действие повторялось много раз и имеет результат в настоящем - 'keeps failing').
• 3. Jake didn't buy a jacket in the sale last Saturday. (Past Simple, так как указано конкретное время в прошлом 'last Saturday' и отрицательная форма).
• 4. Have you ever found money in an old coat pocket? (Present Perfect, так как 'ever' указывает на опыт, который может быть или не быть в прошлом, и результат важен сейчас).
