QUESTION 1: CONVERT THE FOLLOWING SENTENCES INTO PAST TENSE

*(Each sentence is worth 1 mark, total = 5 marks)*

We need to change the verbs in each sentence from present tense to past tense. Remember:
- Regular verbs: add -ed (e.g., run → ran)
- Irregular verbs: use their past form (e.g., be → was/were, have → had)
- Modal verbs like "can" become "could"
- Future tenses ("will") become past tense with "would"

#### 1.1 The girl is running after the bus.
→ Present continuous → Past continuous
Answer: *The girl was running after the bus.*

> ✔ Explanation: "is running" → "was running" (past continuous)

#### 1.2 The boy runs with his dog.
→ Simple present → Simple past
Answer: *The boy ran with his dog.*

> ✔ Explanation: "runs" → "ran" (past simple of "run")

#### 1.3 The children will be running outside.
→ Future continuous → Past future continuous (or simply past tense)
But since it's asking for past tense, we convert “will be running” to “were running”
Answer: *The children were running outside.*

> ✔ Explanation: "will be running" → "were running" (past continuous)

#### 1.4 I can run.
→ Modal verb "can" → "could"
Answer: *I could run.*

> ✔ Explanation: "can" → "could" in past tense

#### 1.5 Sarah runs the relay race every year.
→ Habitual present → Past habitual
Answer: *Sarah ran the relay race every year.*

> ✔ Explanation: "runs" → "ran" (simple past)

QUESTION 2: PROVIDE THE CORRECT PRONOUN FOR EACH OF THE FOLLOWING SENTENCES

*(Each worth 1 mark, total = 5 marks)*

We are looking for possessive pronouns that replace the noun.

→ Who owns the books? Natalie → her
Answer: *hers*

→ Use "but" to show contrast
Example Answer: *It was John’s turn to bat the ball BUT he dropped the bat.*
