Let’s go through each sentence one by one. We need to pick the correct past tense form of the irregular verb in each case. Remember, irregular verbs don’t follow the normal “-ed” rule — we have to memorize their past forms.

8. The ballerina ___ into the air gracefully.
Options: leap, leaped, leapt, leopen
→ Both “leaped” and “leapt” are acceptable past tenses of “leap”. But since this is a worksheet likely expecting standard usage,
leapt is more common in British English and often preferred in formal contexts. However, both are correct. Looking at the options,
leapt is listed and matches typical textbook answers.
✔ Correct answer:
leapt
*(Note: In American English, “leaped” is also very common — but since “leapt” is an option and fits perfectly, we’ll go with that.)*

Final Answer:
1. spoke
2. said

4. built
5. chose
6. cut
7. did
8. leapt
