Let's solve this grammar exercise step by step. The image is about verbs and how they change in the past, present, and future tenses.
We are given three columns:
1. PAST – add -ed (or sometimes just the base form with spelling changes)
2. PRESENT – add -s or -es for third person singular, or -ing for present continuous
3. FUTURE – use will + verb
---
#### 1. Past Tense Column
> Rule: Add -ed to the base verb (with exceptions like doubling consonants, dropping 'e', etc.)
- jump__ → jumped
- ___ed → This is a blank before "ed". We need a verb that ends with "ed" when past tense. Looking at the list, we have "skip", so:
→ skipped
- skipp__ → skipped (already filled above)
- ___ped → Again, we see "climb", so:
→ climbed
- climb__ → climbed
So, Past column:
- jump → jumped
- skip → skipped
- climb → climbed
But the blanks are:
- jump__
- ___ed → skiped (so fill in: skip)
- skipp__ → skipped (fill in: ed)
- ___ped → climbed (fill in: climb)
- climb__ → climbed (fill in: ed)
Wait — let’s look carefully at the layout:
```
PAST
jump__
___ed
skipp__
___ped
climb__
```
So:
1. jump__ → jumped → fill in: ed
2. ___ed → must be a verb ending in "ed" → likely skip → skipped → fill in: skip
3. skipp__ → skipped → fill in: ed
4. ___ped → climbed → fill in: climb
5. climb__ → climbed → fill in: ed
✔ So past column answers:
- jumped
- skiped
- skipped
- climbed
- climbed
---
#### 2. Present Tense Column
> Two forms:
- Third person singular: add -s or -es
- Present continuous: add -ing
Given:
- jump → jump__ (add -ing) → jumping
- helps → already given
- helping → already given
- skipp__ → skipping → fill in: ing
- hops → already given
- hopping → already given
- climb__ → climbing → fill in: ing
- climb__ → second one? Wait, two entries for "climb"?
Looking at the structure:
```
PRESENT
jump__ jump__
helps helping
skipp__ skipp__
hops hopping
climb__ climb__
```
So it's two columns under PRESENT:
- First column: third person singular (add -s/-es)
- Second column: present participle (add -ing)
So:
- jump → jumps (third person), jumping (present participle)
- skip → skips, skipping
- climb → climbs, climbing
Now fill in:
- jump__ → jumps (first blank)
- jump__ → jumping (second blank)
- skipp__ → skips → fill in: s
- skipp__ → skipping → fill in: ing
- climb__ → climbs → fill in: s
- climb__ → climbing → fill in: ing
✔ Present column answers:
- jumps, jumping
- skips, skipping
- climbs, climbing
---
#### 3. Future Tense Column
> Rule: will + verb
Given:
- ___ jump → will jump → so blank is will
- will ___ → needs a verb → from context, probably dream
- ___ dream → will dream → so blank is will
- will ___ → again, likely climb
- ___ climb → will climb → so blank is will
So:
- ___ jump → will jump
- will ___ → will dream
- ___ dream → will dream
- will ___ → will climb
- ___ climb → will climb
✔ Future column answers:
- will jump
- will dream
- will dream
- will climb
- will climb
---
| PAST | PRESENT | FUTURE |
|------------------|---------------|------------------|
| jumped | jumps | will jump |
| skiped | jumping | will dream |
| skipped | skips | will dream |
| climbed | skipping | will climb |
| climbed | climbs | will climb |
---
#### PAST:
- jump → ed
- ___ed → skip
- skipp → ed
- ___ped → climb
- climb → ed
#### PRESENT:
- jump → s (jumps), ing (jumping)
- skip → s (skips), ing (skipping)
- climb → s (climbs), ing (climbing)
#### FUTURE:
- ___ jump → will
- will ___ → dream
- ___ dream → will
- will ___ → climb
- ___ climb → will
✔ All blanks filled correctly!
