Irregular Past Tense Verbs Worksheet: Match the correct verb form to the image.

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are given 10 sentences with blanks. Each sentence has a verb in parentheses that we need to change into its past tense form — and since these are *irregular* verbs, they don’t follow the usual “-ed” rule. We also need to match each sentence to the correct image (but since we’re not describing images, we’ll just focus on filling in the blanks correctly).

Here’s how irregular past tense works for these verbs:

1. run → ran ✔ (already done)
2. sing → sang
3. drive → drove
4. eat → ate
5. dive → dove (or dived — but “dove” is more common in American English for this context)
6. ride → rode
7. drink → drank
8. read → read (pronounced like “red”, spelled the same!)
9. go → went
10. shake → shook

Now let’s fill in each blank carefully:

---

1. The man ran to catch the train. (run) → ✔️ Already correct.

2. The children sang the song loudly. (sing)
→ “Sing” becomes “sang” in past tense.

3. The married couple drove the car slowly. (drive)
→ “Drive” becomes “drove”.

4. The women ate their lunch together. (eat)
→ “Eat” becomes “ate”.

5. She dove into the water. (dive)
→ “Dive” becomes “dove” (common usage; “dived” is also acceptable but less common here).

6. She rode her bicycle to work today. (ride)
→ “Ride” becomes “rode”.

7. The woman drank from the cup. (drink)
→ “Drink” becomes “drank”.

8. The mom read the book to her daughter. (read)
→ “Read” stays spelled the same, but pronounced differently (“red”).

9. The children went down the slide. (go)
→ “Go” becomes “went”.

10. The two men shook hands. (shake)
→ “Shake” becomes “shook”.
