We already have one example done for us:
👉 rise → rose (shown with a red line)

Now, let’s match the rest correctly.

✔ Step-by-step Matching:

1. rise → rose ✔ (already matched)
2. think → thought
*(e.g., I think → I thought)*
3. do → did
*(e.g., I do → I did)*
4. make → made
*(e.g., She makes → She made)*
5. sleep → slept
*(e.g., He sleeps → He slept)*
6. go → went
*(e.g., We go → We went)*
7. hang → hung
*(Note: "hang" has two past forms — "hung" is used in most contexts; "hanged" is only for execution)*
8. run → ran
*(e.g., They run → They ran)*
9. write → wrote
*(e.g., She writes → She wrote)*
10. see → saw
*(e.g., I see → I saw)*

✔ Final Matched Pairs:

| Present | Past |
|--------|----------|
| rise | rose |
| think | thought |
| do | did |
| make | made |
| sleep | slept |
| go | went |
| hang | hung |
| run | ran |
| write | wrote |
| see | saw |

📝 Explanation:

These are irregular verbs, meaning their past tense forms do not follow the regular pattern of adding "-ed". Instead, they change completely or partially (like "go" → "went", "see" → "saw").

The hint given (see → saw) helps confirm that these are irregular and not regular verbs.

✔ All matches are now complete and correct!
