Let’s solve the worksheet step by step.

We are given 15 sentences with verbs in brackets. We need to fill in the blanks with the past simple form of each verb — because all these sentences talk about things that already happened (yesterday, last week, this morning, etc.).

Here’s how we’ll do it:

- Look at each sentence.
- Find the verb in brackets.
- Change it to its past simple form.
- Write it in the blank.

Let’s go one by one:

---

1. Charlie ______ (read) a popular novel from the school library yesterday afternoon.

→ “read” → past simple is still read (pronounced “red”, but spelled the same).
Answer: read

---

2. Mrs Matthews ______ (make) a cake for her grandchildren this morning.

→ “make” → past simple is made
Answer: made

---

3. Isabella ______ (draw) a picture of her cat and painted it last night.

→ “draw” → past simple is drew
Answer: drew

---

4. My grandfather ______ (buy) some presents for his friend on three days ago.

→ “buy” → past simple is bought
Answer: bought

---

5. Millie ______ (lose) her new red bicycle in the park last Saturday.

→ “lose” → past simple is lost
Answer: lost

---

6. Harrison ______ (sell) a huge comic collection from the publishing house.

→ “sell” → past simple is sold
Answer: sold

---

7. Brooke ______ (catch) her bus before she had breakfast.

→ “catch” → past simple is caught
Answer: caught

---

8. Jasmine ______ (teach) her class before she went home.

→ “teach” → past simple is taught
Answer: taught

---

9. Frankie ______ (wear) for about two hours in the zoo and he walked on the beach for some time.

Wait — this sentence seems incomplete or miswritten. But looking at context: “Frankie ___ for about two hours...” — probably meant “wore something”? But no object. Maybe typo? Let’s assume it’s “Frankie wore [something] for about two hours...”

But since the verb is “wear”, past simple is wore.

Answer: wore

*(Note: The sentence might be missing words, but based on the verb given, we use “wore”.)*

---

10. Nathan and Blake ______ (fight) hemispheres when they were very young.

→ “fight” → past simple is fought
Answer: fought

---

11. Arthur ______ (grow) carrots lettuce and tomatoes in his garden last spring.

→ “grow” → past simple is grew
Answer: grew

---

12. Alfie ______ (leave) for Rome on the school trip last Thursday.

→ “leave” → past simple is left
Answer: left

---

13. Finley ______ (cost) a holiday and ______ (drink) a glass of coke in the cafe yesterday.

First blank: “cost” → past simple is cost (same spelling)
Second blank: “drink” → past simple is drank

Answers: cost, drank

---

14. Maddie ______ (take) James Lestrup and my mommies from the supermarket last weekend.

→ “take” → past simple is took
Answer: took

---

15. Tina and Rosie ______ (speak) about the Science exam in the corridor two hours ago.

→ “speak” → past simple is spoke
Answer: spoke

---

Now let’s double-check a few tricky ones:

- “read” → past = read
- “make” → made
- “draw” → drew
- “buy” → bought
- “lose” → lost
- “sell” → sold
- “catch” → caught
- “teach” → taught
- “wear” → wore
- “fight” → fought
- “grow” → grew
- “leave” → left
- “cost” → cost ; “drink” → drank
- “take” → took
- “speak” → spoke

All correct!
