To solve this worksheet, we need to change the verbs in parentheses into their
past participle forms. These sentences use helping verbs like *have*, *has*, *had*, *could have*, or *should have*. When you see these helping verbs, the main verb usually changes to its past participle form (often ending in -ed, -en, or -t).
Here is the step-by-step breakdown for each sentence:
1.
know: The past participle of "know" is
known.
* *Sentence:* No one could have
known...
2.
think: The past participle of "think" is
thought.
* *Sentence:* None of us would have
thought...
3.
predict: This is a regular verb, so we add -ed. The past participle is
predicted.
* *Sentence:* We could not have
predicted...
4.
strike: The past participle of "strike" is
struck.
* *Sentence:* It was as if lightning had
struck...
5.
arise: The past participle of "arise" is
arisen.
* *Sentence:* This problem should never have
arisen...
6.
see: The past participle of "see" is
seen.
* *Sentence:* But we should have
seen...
7.
do: The past participle of "do" is
done.
* *Sentence:* Someone could have
done...
8.
find: The past participle of "find" is
found.
* *Sentence:* Maybe I could have
found...
9.
ask: This is a regular verb, so we add -ed. The past participle is
asked.
* *Sentence:* Mom could have
asked...
10.
go: The past participle of "go" is
gone.
* *Sentence:* My brother could have
gone...
11.
get: The past participle of "get" is
gotten (in American English) or
got (in British English). Since most school worksheets in this format use American English,
gotten is the standard answer here.
* *Sentence:* He could have
gotten...
12.
bring: The past participle of "bring" is
brought.
* *Sentence:* He could have
brought...
13.
choose: The past participle of "choose" is
chosen.
* *Sentence:* I should have gone with him and
chosen...
14.
give: The past participle of "give" is
given.
* *Sentence:* ...no one had
given...
15.
run: The past participle of "run" is
run (it stays the same as the base form, but distinct from the past tense "ran").
* *Sentence:* That is why we have now
run...
