Step-by-step solution for: Nouns Worksheet for 2nd - 6th Grade | Lesson Planet
To solve this homework, we need to change the verbs in each sentence from the present tense (what is happening now or happens often) to the past tense (what already happened).
Here is the step-by-step breakdown for each sentence:
1. Angeline is eating an orange.
* The verb is "is eating" (present continuous).
* The past form is "was eating".
* *Answer:* Angeline was eating an orange.
2. John and I are at the canteen.
* The verb is "are" (present).
* The past form of "are" is "were".
* *Answer:* John and I were at the canteen.
3. Ian is cleaning his car.
* The verb is "is cleaning" (present continuous).
* The past form is "was cleaning".
* *Answer:* Ian was cleaning his car.
4. Aisyah is a beautiful princess.
* The verb is "is" (present).
* The past form of "is" is "was".
* *Answer:* Aisyah was a beautiful princess.
5. Hana runs very fast.
* The verb is "runs" (simple present).
* The past form of "run" is "ran".
* *Answer:* Hana ran very fast.
6. Fara is a beautiful girl.
* The verb is "is" (present).
* The past form of "is" is "was".
* *Answer:* Fara was a beautiful girl.
7. Sam is reading an exciting book about space.
* The verb is "is reading" (present continuous).
* The past form is "was reading".
* *Answer:* Sam was reading an exciting book about space.
8. We are on holiday.
* The verb is "are" (present).
* The past form of "are" is "were".
* *Answer:* We were on holiday.
9. I painted a picture yesterday.
* The verb is "painted". This is already in the past tense.
* Since the instruction says "Rewrite the nouns in the sentences below" (which seems to be a typo for "verbs") into the past tense, and this one is already done, we keep it as is.
* *Answer:* I painted a picture yesterday.
10. Cody played the basketball.
* The verb is "played". This is already in the past tense.
* We keep it as is.
* *Answer:* Cody played the basketball.
11. Gather the rice in sack.
* The verb is "Gather" (imperative/present).
* To make it past tense narrative, we usually add a subject like "He/She/They" or just change the verb if it's describing an action that happened. However, looking at the pattern, simple past of "gather" is "gathered". Let's assume the subject is implied or it's a command turned into a statement. A safe bet for these worksheets is usually adding a subject like "He gathered..." or just changing the verb form if the subject was there. Let's look closer. It says "Gather the rice...". If we treat it as "He gathers", the past is "He gathered". Without a subject, it's tricky. But usually, in these lists, if there is no subject, it might be a mistake in the question or implies "You gathered". Let's look at sentence 12: "The girls are dancing". Sentence 13: "Peter dances". Sentence 14: "Jackson answered". Sentence 15: "Bob knew".
* Actually, let's re-read sentence 11 carefully. "Gather the rice in sack." It lacks a subject. In many primary school exercises, if the subject is missing, it might be an imperative. But to put it in past tense, we often assume a subject like "He" or "They". Or perhaps the verb is just "gathered". Let's assume the standard transformation: gathered.
* *Correction*: Looking at similar worksheets, sometimes they just want the verb changed. "Gather" becomes "Gathered". Let's write: Gathered the rice in sack. (Or potentially "He gathered..."). Given the other sentences have subjects, this one is odd. Let's assume the subject "He" or "They" is missing, or it's just the verb change. Let's go with Gathered.
*Self-Correction*: Let's look at the context. It's likely a typo for "He gathers the rice..." or similar. But without adding words, "Gathered" is the past form. Let's provide the full sentence with the most logical past tense structure. If I must rewrite the whole sentence, I will use the past form of the main verb.
* *Answer:* Gathered the rice in sack. (Note: If your teacher expects a subject, you might write "He gathered the rice in a sack.")
12. The girls are dancing in class.
* The verb is "are dancing" (present continuous).
* The past form is "were dancing".
* *Answer:* The girls were dancing in class.
13. Peter dances in the rain.
* The verb is "dances" (simple present).
* The past form of "dance" is "danced".
* *Answer:* Peter danced in the rain.
14. Jackson answered the question.
* The verb is "answered". This is already in the past tense.
* We keep it as is.
* *Answer:* Jackson answered the question.
15. Bob knew about the day.
* The verb is "knew". This is already in the past tense (past of "know").
* We keep it as is.
* *Answer:* Bob knew about the day.
Final Answer:
1. Angeline was eating an orange.
