Irregular verbs worksheet for practicing past simple tense with interactive exercises.

Here are the answers to the exercises on the worksheet, broken down by section.

1. Crossword: Change the verbs in Past Simple

Based on the clues provided in the grid:

Down:
1. brought (Past of *bring*)
2. forgot (Past of *forget*)
3. spoke (Past of *speak*)

Across:
3. spent (Past of *spend*) — *Note: This fits with Down 3 at the letter 'p'.*
4. shook (Past of *shake*)
5. got (Past of *get*)

---

2. Correct the mistakes

Here are the corrections for the list on the right side:

* goer → went (The past of *go* is *went*)
* bringer → brought (The past of *bring* is *brought*)
* farget → forgot (The past of *forget* is *forgot*)
* taked → took (The past of *take* is *took*)
* shaken → shook (*Shaken* is the participle; the simple past is *shook*)
* speek → spoke (The past of *speak* is *spoke*)

---

3. Fill in the gaps

Choose the correct form from the box: go / shake / forget / bring / speak / take

1. Last week my brother brought a kitten.
2. Tom climbed a tree and shook the branch.
3. Mr. Chris forgot his bag yesterday. *(Note: "Yesterday" indicates past tense)*
4. Jane spoke to her friend yesterday. *(Note: "Yesterday" indicates past tense)*
5. I sent an e-mail last Sunday. *(Note: The verb "send" is not in the box, but it is the only logical answer for "an e-mail". The past of send is sent).*

*(Self-Correction/Refinement for #5: Looking closely at the image text again, the sentence is "I ___ an e-mail last Sunday." The word bank is `go/shake/forget/bring/speak/take`. None of these fit perfectly except perhaps metaphorically, but usually, these worksheets have a specific target verb. Wait, looking at the very bottom left, there is a separate list 1-6. Let's look at the fill-in-the-blanks again. Ah, number 5 in the picture actually says "I sent an e-mail...". It seems the student might need to write the past tense of "send" even if it's not in the main blue box, or perhaps I misread the blurry text. Let's look at the options again. Actually, looking at the layout, sentence 5 corresponds to the verb take? No. Sentence 5 corresponds to send. Since "send" isn't in the blue box, but is in the crossword (implied by context of common irregular verbs), the answer is definitely sent.)*

*Correction:* Actually, looking at the standard irregular verbs list usually taught with these:
1. Bring -> Brought
2. Shake -> Shook
3. Forget -> Forgot
4. Speak -> Spoke
5. Send -> Sent (Even though "send" is missing from the blue header box, it is the only verb that fits "e-mail").

4. Write your own sentences. Use Past Simple.

*(These are examples since you need to write your own, but here are correct forms using the verbs listed 1-6 at the bottom left)*

1. Bring: She brought cookies to the party.
2. Get: I got a new bike for my birthday.
3. Forget: He forgot his homework at home.
4. Spend: We spent all day at the beach.
5. Shake: The dog shook the water off its fur.
6. Take: My dad took me to the zoo.
