Let's solve the Verb Tenses Worksheet step by step. The goal is to fill in the missing verb forms in the table, based on the past, present, and future tenses.

We are given a hint:

- Past tense: climb → climbed
- Present tense: climb → climbs
- Future tense: climb → will climb

This tells us how regular verbs change across tenses (adding "-ed" for past, "-s" for third person singular present, and "will + base verb" for future).

Now let’s look at the table:

| Past | Present | Future |
|------------|-------------|----------------|
| liked | | |
| looked | looks | |
| | brushes | will play |
| braked | | |
| walked | watches | |
| | | will bake |
| | | will clean |
| | washes | |

---

Step-by-step filling:



#### 1. liked
- Past: liked
- Present: like
- Future: will like

So:
- Present: like
- Future: will like

#### 2. looked
- Past: looked
- Present: looks → already given
- Future: will look

So:
- Future: will look

#### 3. brushes
- Present: brushes
- So base verb is "brush"
- Past: brushed
- Future: will brush

But in the row, Future is "will play", which doesn't match "brush". So this must be a different verb.

Wait — "will play" is in the future column, but the present is "brushes".

So we have:
- Present: brushes
- Future: will play → that can’t be right unless it's two different verbs.

Ah! There's a mistake here — the same verb cannot have "brushes" as present and "will play" as future.

Wait — actually, looking at the table:

The third row has:
- Past: blank
- Present: brushes
- Future: will play

That can’t be — "brushes" and "will play" are not the same verb.

So perhaps the "will play" is meant to go with a different verb.

Let’s re-express the table properly:

Let me write the rows clearly:

1. Past: liked → Present: ? → Future: ?
2. Past: looked → Present: looks → Future: ?
3. Past: ? → Present: brushes → Future: will play
4. Past: braked → Present: ? → Future: ?
5. Past: walked → Present: watches → Future: ?
6. Past: ? → Present: ? → Future: will bake
7. Past: ? → Present: ? → Future: will clean
8. Past: ? → Present: washes → Future: ?

Wait — now I see an issue: "watches" is present tense of "watch", but the past is "walked", which is unrelated.

So each row should represent one verb in three tenses.

Let’s fix this — likely, the table has one verb per row, so:

Row 1: verb = like
- Past: liked
- Present: like
- Future: will like

Row 2: verb = look
- Past: looked
- Present: looks
- Future: will look

Row 3: verb = brush
- Present: brushes
- But future says will play → that’s wrong!

Wait — this is inconsistent.

Alternatively, maybe the future tense in row 3 is not for "brush" — perhaps the table is misaligned?

Let’s double-check the original layout.

Looking at the image description:

```
| Past | Present | Future |
|------------|-------------|----------------|
| liked | | |
| looked | looks | |
| | brushes | will play |
| braked | | |
| walked | watches | |
| | | will bake |
| | | will clean |
| | washes | |
```

This suggests that each row is a separate verb, and we need to fill in the missing parts.

But "brushes" and "will play" are from different verbs — that can’t be.

Unless there’s a typo or misalignment.

Wait — perhaps the "will play" is meant to be in the same row as "brushes"? That would mean the verb is "play", but present is "brushes", which doesn’t make sense.

So this must be an error.

Alternatively, maybe the future column has "will play" for the verb "play", so we need to find where "play" fits.

Let’s analyze each row carefully.

---

Let's assume each row corresponds to one verb.



#### Row 1:
- Past: liked
- So verb is like
- Present: like
- Future: will like

So:
- Present: like
- Future: will like

#### Row 2:
- Past: looked
- Present: looks
- Future: will look

So:
- Future: will look

#### Row 3:
- Present: brushes
- Future: will play → This is impossible.
- So likely, "will play" is a typo or misplaced.

Wait — perhaps the future column has "will play" for a different verb.

Let’s look at the future column:
- Row 3: will play
- Row 6: will bake
- Row 7: will clean

And present:
- Row 3: brushes
- Row 5: watches
- Row 8: washes

So:
- "brushes" → present of brush
- "watches" → present of watch
- "washes" → present of wash

So:
- For brush: past = brushed, future = will brush
- But future says will play — conflict.

So unless the future is for a different verb, this is inconsistent.

Wait — perhaps the "will play" is not for the same verb as "brushes"?

But then what verb has present: brushes and future: will play? None.

So likely, the "will play" is not in the same row as "brushes".

Wait — maybe the table is misaligned?

Let me re-read the worksheet.

Actually, looking at the structure:

It appears that each row represents one verb.

So:
- Row 1: verb = like
- Row 2: verb = look
- Row 3: verb = brush → but future says "will play"? No.

Wait — perhaps the "will play" is a typo and should be "will brush"?

That makes more sense.

Similarly, "watches" in row 5 — past is walked, which is not related.

So "walked" and "watches" are not the same verb.

So this is a problem.

Wait — perhaps the past and present columns are not aligned correctly?

No — it seems each row is a separate verb.

Let’s try to reconstruct.

Maybe the "braked" and "walked" are both past tenses, but they’re in different rows.

Let’s list all the known parts:

From the table:

| Past | Present | Future |
|--------|------------|---------------|
| liked | | |
| looked | looks | |
| | brushes | will play |
| braked | | |
| walked | watches | |
| | | will bake |
| | | will clean |
| | washes | |

Now, let’s identify the verbs:

- liked → verb: like
- looked → verb: look
- braked → verb: brake
- walked → verb: walk
- brushes → verb: brush
- watches → verb: watch
- washes → verb: wash
- will bake → verb: bake
- will clean → verb: clean
- will play → verb: play

So we have 9 verbs:
- like
- look
- brake
- walk
- brush
- watch
- wash
- bake
- clean
- play

But only 8 rows.

Wait — there are 8 rows.

So some verbs appear twice?

Let’s count:

Row 1: like
Row 2: look
Row 3: brush (present) and will play? No — mismatch.

Wait — perhaps the "will play" is for a verb whose present is missing, and past is missing.

So let’s assign each row to a verb.

Let’s try to match:

#### Row 1:
- Past: liked → verb: like
- Present: ? → like
- Future: ? → will like

#### Row 2:
- Past: looked → verb: look
- Present: looks → correct
- Future: ? → will look

#### Row 3:
- Past: ? → verb: brush
- Present: brushes → correct
- Future: ? → will brush

But the future says will play — that’s a problem.

Unless "will play" is a typo and should be "will brush".

Similarly, "watches" is in row 5, but past is walked — that’s not matching.

So "walked" and "watches" are in the same row — that can’t be.

Unless the present is watches, and past is walked — but that’s not the same verb.

So this suggests the table has a misalignment.

Wait — perhaps the "watches" is for the verb watch, and the past should be watched, not walked.

But it says walked.

So unless "walked" is a typo and should be watched?

That might be possible.

Similarly, "braked" could be for brake, and "brakes" in present.

But "brakes" is not listed.

Wait — let’s look again.

Row 4: past = braked → verb: brake
→ present: ? → brakes
→ future: ? → will brake

Row 5: past = walked → verb: walk
→ present = watches → no — that’s watch, not walk

So "walked" and "watches" are not the same verb.

So this is a mistake in the table.

Alternatively, maybe the present is watches, and the past is watched, but it says walked.

So likely, "walked" should be "watched".

Similarly, "watches" is present of watch, so past should be watched, not walked.

So probably, "walked" is a typo and should be "watched".

Similarly, "will play" might be a typo — perhaps it should be "will brush".

But wait — in row 3:
- Present: brushes
- Future: will play → that’s clearly wrong.

So likely, "will play" is meant to be "will brush", or the verb is play, but present is plays, not brushes.

So this is confusing.

Perhaps the future column is for a different verb.

Let’s try to ignore the labels and think about what makes sense.

Let’s list all the verbs we can infer:

From past:
- liked → like
- looked → look
- braked → brake
- walked → walk

From present:
- looks → look (already have)
- brushes → brush
- watches → watch
- washes → wash

From future:
- will play → play
- will bake → bake
- will clean → clean

So we have verbs: like, look, brake, walk, brush, watch, wash, play, bake, clean

But only 8 rows.

So 10 verbs, 8 rows — too many.

Wait — some verbs may appear twice.

But let’s count the rows:

1. liked → like
2. looked → look
3. brushes → brush
4. braked → brake
5. walked → walk
6. watches → watch
7. will bake → bake
8. will clean → clean
9. washes → wash

That’s 9 verbs.

But only 8 rows.

So one row has two verbs?

No.

Wait — perhaps the "will play" is in row 3, but the verb is play, so present should be plays, not brushes.

So the only logical explanation is that the table has errors.

But let’s assume it’s intended to be correct.

Another possibility: the "will play" is not for the same verb as "brushes", but the row is missing the past form.

So for the verb play:
- Past: played
- Present: plays
- Future: will play

But in the table, present is brushes, which is not plays.

So no.

Unless the present is plays, but it says brushes.

So this is a problem.

Perhaps the "brushes" is a typo and should be "plays"?

Then:
- Present: plays
- Future: will play
- Past: played

So row 3: past = played, present = plays, future = will play

Then:
- Row 1: liked, like, will like
- Row 2: looked, looks, will look
- Row 3: played, plays, will play
- Row 4: braked, brakes, will brake
- Row 5: walked, walks, will walk
- Row 6: watched, watches, will watch
- Row 7: baked, bakes, will bake
- Row 8: cleaned, cleans, will clean

But in the table:
- Row 5: past = walked, present = watches → not matching

So if we assume "watches" is for watch, then past should be watched, not walked.

So likely, "walked" is a typo and should be "watched".

Similarly, "braked" is past of brake, so present should be brakes, future will brake.

But in row 4: past = braked, present = ?, future = ?

So we can fill:
- Present: brakes
- Future: will brake

Similarly, row 5: past = walked → should be watched for watch, but it says walked.

So either:
- "walked" is a typo and should be "watched"
- or "watches" is a typo and should be "walks"

But "watches" is present tense of "watch", and "walked" is past of "walk".

So they are different verbs.

So the only way this makes sense is if the present in row 5 is walks, not watches.

But it says watches.

So likely, "watches" is a typo and should be "walks".

Then:
- Row 5: past = walked, present = walks, future = will walk

Similarly, row 6: future = will bake → verb: bake
- Past: baked
- Present: bakes

Row 7: future = will clean → verb: clean
- Past: cleaned
- Present: cleans

Row 8: present = washes → verb: wash
- Past: washed
- Future: will wash

Now, row 3: present = brushes → verb: brush
- Past: brushed
- Future: will brush

But future says will play — that’s still a problem.

So unless "will play" is a typo and should be "will brush", or the verb is play, but present is brushes, which is wrong.

So the only consistent way is to assume that "will play" is a typo and should be "will brush".

Similarly, "watches" in row 5 might be a typo.

Let’s try to reconstruct the table with corrections:

Assume:
- Row 1: like → liked, like, will like
- Row 2: look → looked, looks, will look
- Row 3: brush → brushed, brushes, will brush (instead of will play)
- Row 4: brake → braked, brakes, will brake
- Row 5: walk → walked, walks, will walk (instead of watches)
- Row 6: bake → baked, bakes, will bake
- Row 7: clean → cleaned, cleans, will clean
- Row 8: wash → washed, washes, will wash

But in the table, row 5 has watches, not walks.

So unless the verb is watch, then past should be watched, not walked.

So perhaps:
- Row 5: watch → watched, watches, will watch

Then "walked" should be "watched"

So likely, "walked" is a typo and should be "watched"

Similarly, "will play" in row 3 should be "will brush"

So let’s assume these are typos.

Then the completed table should be:

| Past | Present | Future |
|------------|-------------|----------------|
| liked | like | will like |
| looked | looks | will look |
| brushed | brushes | will brush |
| braked | brakes | will brake |
| watched | watches | will watch |
| baked | bakes | will bake |
| cleaned | cleans | will clean |
| washed | washes | will wash |

But in the original table:
- Row 5: past = walked, present = watches → so if we change "walked" to "watched", it works
- Row 3: future = will play → change to "will brush"
- Row 6: future = will bake → so past = baked, present = bakes
- Row 7: future = will clean → past = cleaned, present = cleans
- Row 8: present = washes → past = washed, future = will wash

So the final answer, assuming typos in the worksheet, is:

Completed Table:



| Past | Present | Future |
|------------|-------------|----------------|
| liked | like | will like |
| looked | looks | will look |
| brushed | brushes | will brush |
| braked | brakes | will brake |
| watched | watches | will watch |
| baked | bakes | will bake |
| cleaned | cleans | will clean |
| washed | washes | will wash |

But since the worksheet shows:
- Row 5: past = walked, present = watches
- Row 3: future = will play

We must either accept the typos or reconsider.

Alternatively, perhaps the "will play" is for a different verb, and the present is not for the same verb.

But that doesn't make sense.

Given the context, it's most likely that the worksheet has a few typos.

Final Answer (with corrections):



| Past | Present | Future |
|------------|-------------|----------------|
| liked | like | will like |
| looked | looks | will look |
| brushed | brushes | will brush |
| braked | brakes | will brake |
| watched | watches | will watch |
| baked | bakes | will bake |
| cleaned | cleans | will clean |
| washed | washes | will wash |

Note: The original worksheet likely has typos:
- "walked" should be "watched" in row 5
- "will play" should be "will brush" in row 3

With these corrections, the table is consistent.

If you must use the original values, then the only way is to treat each cell independently, but that leads to inconsistencies.

Therefore, the intended solution is as above.

Fill-in-the-blanks:



1. liked → like, will like
2. looked → will look
3. brushed, will brush
4. braked → brakes, will brake
5. watched, will watch
6. baked, bakes
7. cleaned, cleans
8. washed, will wash

So the filled table is:

| Past | Present | Future |
|------------|-------------|----------------|
| liked | like | will like |
| looked | looks | will look |
| brushed | brushes | will brush |
| braked | brakes | will brake |
| watched | watches | will watch |
| baked | bakes | will bake |
| cleaned | cleans | will clean |
| washed | washes | will wash |

This is the correct and consistent solution.
