Irregular Verb Conjugation

These don’t follow normal patterns — you have to memorize their past forms.

1. I ________ (see) a movie last night.
→ Past tense of “see” is saw

2. She ________ (ate) breakfast before she left.
→ Already filled! “Ate” is past of “eat” ✔

3. They ________ (swam) in the lake.
→ Already filled! “Swam” is past of “swim” ✔

4. He ________ (bought) a new car.
→ Already filled! “Bought” is past of “buy” ✔

5. We ________ (teach) English to children.
→ Wait — this says “teach”, but we need past tense? Let’s check context. All other sentences are past tense (“last night”, “before she left”, etc.). So likely should be past tense.
Past of “teach” is taught

6. You ________ (run) five miles yesterday.
→ “Yesterday” = past tense → past of “run” is ran

7. The dog ________ (bit) the mailman.
→ Already filled! “Bit” is past of “bite” ✔

8. The leaves ________ (fell) from the trees.
→ Already filled! “Fell” is past of “fall” ✔

9. The fish ________ (swam) away.
→ Already filled! “Swam” is past of “swim” ✔

10. The people ________ (saw) the fireworks.
→ Already filled! “Saw” is past of “see” ✔

Wait — let’s double-check #5 and #6 because they weren’t pre-filled like others.

Looking again at the worksheet:

In Irregular section:
#5 says: “We __________ (teach) English to children.” — no past clue word, BUT all other sentences are clearly past tense. Also, #6 has “yesterday”. So yes, both #5 and #6 should be past tense.

So:
#5: teach → taught
#6: run → ran

Also, #1: see → saw (already correct as per our answer)

Now let’s list all answers clearly.
