This worksheet tests knowledge of irregular verbs, which do not follow the standard "-ed" rule. Instead, they change their spelling in unpredictable ways.
Some common patterns:
- make → made
- see → saw
- think → thought
- fall → fell
- throw → threw
- know → knew
- ride → rode
- go → went
- lose → lost
Note: "glide" is not irregular — it's regular ("glided"). But since the sentence uses it and it's part of the exercise, we still apply the correct form.
