Let’s go through each sentence one by one. The task is to add
-ed to the verb in brackets to make it past tense. But we have to be careful — some verbs change spelling when we add -ed, and some don’t change at all!
Here’s how we do it:
1.
heat → heated (just add -ed)
Sentence: I gently placed onion rings in the
heated oil.
2.
show → showed (just add -ed)
Sentence: John
showed me his new watch.
3.
open → opened (just add -ed)
Sentence: Dad
opened the door.
4.
walk → walked (just add -ed)
Sentence: Harry
walked towards the car.
5.
edit → edited (just add -ed)
Sentence: Mr. Bush
edited my poem before submission.
6.
want → wanted (just add -ed)
Sentence: Anne always
wanted to be an actress.
7.
cook → cooked (just add -ed)
Sentence: Sally
cooked chicken curry for us.
8.
visit → visited (just add -ed)
Sentence: Grandma
visited us last summer.
9.
rain → rained (just add -ed)
Sentence: It
rained heavily during the day.
10.
crash → crashed (just add -ed)
Sentence: The bus
crashed into a vehicle.
All these verbs are regular — they just need “-ed” added to become past tense. No tricky changes like “run → ran” or “go → went”. Easy!
Final Answer:
1. heated
2. showed
3. opened
4. walked
5. edited
6. wanted
7. cooked
8. visited
9. rained
10. crashed
