English Grammar - Past Participle - skoolon.com - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step to fill in the table correctly.

We are given a table with three columns:
- Verb (infinitive form, like “To Bear”)
- Simple past tense (what happened yesterday — e.g., “bore”)
- Past Participle (used with “have/has/had” — e.g., “borne”)

Some rows give us one or two pieces and we must fill in the missing ones.

Let’s go row by row:

1. To Bear
→ Simple past: Bore
→ Past participle: Born (for birth) or Borne (for carrying/enduring). In most school worksheets, they use Born for “to bear a child”, but technically both exist. However, since this is likely basic grammar, we’ll use Born as common usage. But wait — let’s check standard irregular verb lists. Actually, for “bear” meaning “carry” or “endure”, it’s borne. For “give birth”, it’s born. Since no context, safest is borne as general past participle. But many textbooks list:
- bear → bore → born/borne
Let’s look at other clues. The worksheet has “Bitten”, “Brought”, etc. — all standard irregulars.
Standard answer expected:
To Bear → Bore → Born (if thinking of birth) OR Borne (if thinking of carry).
BUT — looking ahead, “Begun” is listed under past participle for “To Begin”. So we need to match standard forms.

Actually, let’s use authoritative source logic:
Commonly taught:
- bear → bore → borne (for most meanings except birth)
But in many US school worksheets, they accept “born” for simplicity when referring to birth. However, since “to bear” can mean multiple things, and the worksheet doesn’t specify, I think they expect:
To Bear → Bore → Born — because “born” is more commonly associated with “bear” in elementary levels.

Wait — let me double-check with known patterns. Look at “To Eat” later — we know eat → ate → eaten. Similarly, “To Go” → went → gone.

Actually, let’s do this systematically using standard irregular verb chart:

| Infinitive | Simple Past | Past Participle |
|------------|-------------|------------------|
| bear | bore | borne (or born) |

Given that “Bitten” is already filled (from bite), and “Brought” from bring, etc., I believe the worksheet expects:

→ To Bear → Bore → Born

Why? Because “born” is the form used in “I was born”, which is very common. Even though “borne” is also correct, schools often simplify.

BUT — let’s hold off and see if any other row gives clue.

2. Next row: blank verb, blank simple past, past participle = Bitten
→ What verb has past participle “bitten”? → To Bite
→ Simple past of bite is Bit
So: Verb = To Bite, Simple past = Bit

3. Next: To Bring → simple past? → Brought (already given in past participle column? Wait no — look again.)

Wait — let’s re-read the table structure carefully.

The table says:

Row 1: Verb = To Bear → fill simple past and past participle
Row 2: [blank] → [blank] → Bitten → so we fill verb and simple past
Row 3: To Bring → [blank] → Brought → so fill simple past
Row 4: [blank] → Caught → [blank] → fill verb and past participle
Row 5: [blank] → [blank] → Hung → fill verb and simple past
Row 6: To Sing → [blank] → [blank]
Row 7: To Steal → [blank] → [blank]
Row 8: [blank] → Drank → [blank] → fill verb and past participle
Row 9: To Go → [blank] → [blank]
Row 10: [blank] → [blank] → Begun → fill verb and simple past
Row 11: To Eat → [blank] → [blank]
Row 12: [blank] → [blank] → Wrung → fill verb and simple past
Row 13: To Swear → [blank] → [blank]
Row 14: [blank] → Burned, burnt → [blank] → fill verb and past participle
Row 15: [blank] → [blank] → [blank] → probably not needed? Or maybe last row is incomplete.

Actually, counting rows:

From image description (since I can't see image but user provided text):

Table rows as per your input:

1. To Bear → ? → ?
2. ? → ? → Bitten
3. To Bring → ? → Brought
4. ? → Caught → ?
5. ? → ? → Hung
6. To Sing → ? → ?
7. To Steal → ? → ?
8. ? → Drank → ?
9. To Go → ? → ?
10. ? → ? → Begun
11. To Eat → ? → ?
12. ? → ? → Wrung
13. To Swear → ? → ?
14. ? → Burned, burnt → ?
15. ? → ? → ? (probably empty or not required)

But in your initial problem statement, you wrote:

> Q 1. Fill in the blanks...

And then listed the table with those entries.

So let’s solve each row logically.

Standard Irregular Verbs Reference (commonly taught):

- bear → bore → born/borne → we'll use born for simplicity unless contradicted
- bite → bit → bitten ✔ (row 2)
- bring → brought → brought ✔ (row 3: simple past should be "brought")
- catch → caught → caught (row 4: verb = To Catch, past participle = Caught)
- hang → hung → hung (row 5: verb = To Hang, simple past = Hung) — note: “hanged” is for execution, “hung” for objects; here it's “Hung” so likely object-hanging
- sing → sang → sung (row 6)
- steal → stole → stolen (row 7)
- drink → drank → drunk (row 8: verb = To Drink, past participle = Drunk)
- go → went → gone (row 9)
- begin → began → begun (row 10: verb = To Begin, simple past = Began)
- eat → ate → eaten (row 11)
- wring → wrung → wrung (row 12: verb = To Wring, simple past = Wrung)
- swear → swore → sworn (row 13)
- burn → burned/burnt → burned/burnt (row 14: verb = To Burn, past participle = Burned/Burnt — same as simple past)

Now back to row 1: To Bear

If we follow pattern, and since “born” is extremely common (“I was born”), and many curricula teach:

bear → bore → born

Even though “borne” is also correct, for school level, “born” is acceptable and expected.

Similarly, row 5: “Hung” as past participle → verb is “To Hang”, simple past is also “Hung”

Row 4: “Caught” as simple past → verb is “To Catch”, past participle is also “Caught”

Row 8: “Drank” as simple past → verb is “To Drink”, past participle is “Drunk”

Row 10: “Begun” as past participle → verb is “To Begin”, simple past is “Began”

Row 12: “Wrung” as past participle → verb is “To Wring”, simple past is “Wrung”

Row 14: “Burned, burnt” as simple past → verb is “To Burn”, past participle is also “Burned, burnt”

Now let’s compile full answers:

Row 1: To Bear → Bore → Born
Row 2: To Bite → Bit → Bitten
Row 3: To Bring → Brought → Brought
Row 4: To Catch → Caught → Caught
Row 5: To Hang → Hung → Hung
Row 6: To Sing → Sang → Sung
Row 7: To Steal → Stole → Stolen
Row 8: To Drink → Drank → Drunk
Row 9: To Go → Went → Gone
Row 10: To Begin → Began → Begun
Row 11: To Eat → Ate → Eaten
Row 12: To Wring → Wrung → Wrung
Row 13: To Swear → Swore → Sworn
Row 14: To Burn → Burned, burnt → Burned, burnt
Row 15: Not specified — probably not needed or typo. We’ll ignore.

Wait — in row 3, past participle is given as “Brought”, so simple past must also be “Brought” — yes, because “bring” is regular in past/past participle? No, it’s irregular but same form: bring → brought → brought.

Similarly, “catch” → caught → caught.

“hang” → hung → hung (for suspending)

“wring” → wrung → wrung

“burn” → burned/burnt → burned/burnt

All good.

Now, about “bear”: I recall that in some systems, they distinguish:

- bear (child) → bore → born
- bear (load) → bore → borne

Since the worksheet doesn’t specify, and “born” is more familiar to students, I’ll go with Born.

But let’s verify with another approach: look at “begun” — that’s clearly from “begin”, which is begin → began → begun.

Similarly, “eaten” from eat.

No contradiction.

Final decision: Use Born for “bear”.

Now, writing the completed table:

| Verb | Simple past tense | Past Participle |
|--------------|-------------------|---------------------|
| To Bear | Bore | Born |
| To Bite | Bit | Bitten |
| To Bring | Brought | Brought |
| To Catch | Caught | Caught |
| To Hang | Hung | Hung |
| To Sing | Sang | Sung |
| To Steal | Stole | Stolen |
| To Drink | Drank | Drunk |
| To Go | Went | Gone |
| To Begin | Began | Begun |
| To Eat | Ate | Eaten |
| To Wring | Wrung | Wrung |
| To Swear | Swore | Sworn |
| To Burn | Burned, burnt | Burned, burnt |

Note: Row 14 says “Burned, burr” in your text — probably typo for “Burned, burnt”. We’ll assume “Burned, burnt”.

Also, in row 14, simple past is given as “Burned, burr” — likely “Burned, burnt”, so past participle same.

Final Answer:

Here is the completed table:

Verb | Simple past tense | Past Participle
--------------|-------------------|------------------
To Bear | Bore | Born
To Bite | Bit | Bitten
To Bring | Brought | Brought
To Catch | Caught | Caught
To Hang | Hung | Hung
To Sing | Sang | Sung
To Steal | Stole | Stolen
To Drink | Drank | Drunk
To Go | Went | Gone
To Begin | Began | Begun
To Eat | Ate | Eaten
To Wring | Wrung | Wrung
To Swear | Swore | Sworn
To Burn | Burned, burnt | Burned, burnt

(Note: For "To Bear", some sources may use "Borne" instead of "Born", but "Born" is commonly accepted in school-level worksheets for the meaning related to birth. If your teacher specifies otherwise, adjust accordingly.)
