To complete the table, we need to change each present tense verb into its irregular past tense form. Irregular verbs do not follow the usual rule of adding "-ed" at the end. Instead, they change their spelling in different ways. Let’s go through each one:
1.
Run → The past tense is
Ran
(Example: I run every day → Yesterday I ran.)
2.
Drink → The past tense is
Drank
(Example: She drinks water → She drank water yesterday.)
3.
Drive → The past tense is
Drove
(Example: He drives to work → He drove to work last Monday.)
4.
Fight → The past tense is
Fought
(Example: They fight often → They fought last week.)
5.
Find → The past tense is
Found
(Example: I find my keys → I found my keys this morning.)
6.
Fly → The past tense is
Flew
(Example: Birds fly south → Birds flew south last winter.)
7.
Leave → The past tense is
Left
(Example: We leave at 8 → We left at 8 yesterday.)
8.
Ring → The past tense is
Rang
(Example: The phone rings → The phone rang an hour ago.)
9.
Stink → The past tense is
Stank
(Example: That trash stinks → That trash stank all day.)
10.
Say → The past tense is
Said
(Example: He says hello → He said hello yesterday.)
All these are common irregular verbs that students often memorize because they don’t follow regular patterns.

- Fight → Fought
