Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: 100 Irregular verbs past tense v2, General grammar practice,…
Let’s go through each sentence one by one. We need to fill in the blanks with the correct past simple form of the verb in parentheses. Remember, these are irregular verbs — so they don’t follow the normal “-ed” rule. We have to memorize their past forms.

Here we go:

1. Daisy brought some candies... → "bring" becomes "brought"
2. I heard a new song... → "hear" becomes "heard"
3. Peter read three books... → "read" stays "read" (but pronounced differently)
4. The Smiths spoke Italian... → "speak" becomes "spoke"
5. Peter understood everything... → "understand" becomes "understood"
6. My mother forgot my name... → "forget" becomes "forgot"
7. Susan lost her key... → "lose" becomes "lost"
8. We met our keys last Friday? Wait — that doesn’t make sense. Let’s check: “We ___ our keys last Friday.” Probably meant “lost”? But #7 already used “lost”. Hmm… maybe it’s “found”? No, the verb given is “meet”. Oh! Maybe it’s a typo? Actually, looking again — perhaps it’s “We met our friends”? But the text says “our keys”. That must be a mistake. But since the verb is “meet”, and it’s past tense, it should be “met”. Even if it sounds odd, we’ll go with grammar: “We met our keys” — maybe metaphorical? Or error in worksheet. Still, grammatically: meet → met.
→ Correction: Actually, re-reading — maybe it’s “We lost our keys” but verb given is “meet”? No, let’s stick to what’s written. Verb is “meet” → past = “met”. So: We met our keys last Friday. (Even if strange, we follow the verb given.)
9. They gave my mother a CD... → "give" becomes "gave"
10. At the age of 25, she became a teacher → "become" becomes "became"
11. He knew the answer yesterday → "know" becomes "knew"
12. Peter fell into the well → "fall" becomes "fell"
13. We built a little ORK → "build" becomes "built"
14. She drank too much coffee → "drink" becomes "drank"
15. The children slept in the car → "sleep" becomes "slept"
16. We bought his presents → "buy" becomes "bought"
17. We chose the steak for dinner → "choose" becomes "chose"
18. The film began late → "begin" becomes "began"
19. They flew to Madrid → "fly" becomes "flew"
20. We drove to Edinburgh → "drive" becomes "drove"
21. Mrs Black taught English... → "teach" becomes "taught"
22. They woke me at 7 am → "wake" becomes "woke"

Wait — let’s double-check #8: “We ___ our keys last Friday.” If the verb is “meet”, then “met” is correct grammatically, even if semantically odd. Maybe it’s a trick or typo, but we must use the verb given.

Also, #13: “ORK” might be a typo for “house” or something, but we just conjugate the verb: build → built.

Now, let’s list all answers clearly:

Final Answer:
1. brought
2. heard
3. read
4. spoke
5. understood
6. forgot
7. lost
8. met
9. gave
10. became
11. knew
12. fell
13. built
14. drank
15. slept
16. bought
17. chose
18. began
19. flew
20. drove
21. taught
22. woke
