Use “was surprised” for something that happened in the past, and “couldn’t” to say you weren’t able to do something. Also, we say “it didn’t have a DVD player”, not “it hasn’t DVD player.” Why we made these changes: Original Correction Why I’m so shocked - I was so surprised - “Shocked” is too strong and emotional for this everyday situation. “Surprised” fits better. Use past tense because it already happened. // I can’t watch - I couldn’t watch - Use past tense for something you tried to do in the past. it hasn’t DVD player - it didn’t have a DVD player - “Hasn’t” is not correct here. In British English, we use “have” or “has” with “do/does/did” in the negative. // I will watch - I’ll watch - “I’ll” is more natural and common in spoken British English. //
