Explanation:
We are given a chart with present and past tense forms of irregular verbs. The goal is to fill in the missing words.
Let’s go row by row, using what we know about common irregular verbs:
1.
Present: begin → Past: ?
The past tense of *begin* is
began.
✔ So first blank (past of *begin*) =
began
2.
Present: ? → Past: bound
Which verb has past tense *bound*?
*Bind* → past = *bound*
✔ So second blank (present of *bound*) =
bind
3.
Present: catch → Past: ?
*Catch* → past =
caught
✔ Third blank =
caught
4.
Present: ? → Past: chose
*Choose* → past = *chose*
✔ Fourth blank =
choose
5.
Present: ? → Past: did
*Do* → past = *did*
✔ Fifth blank =
do
6.
Present: draw → Past: ?
*Draw* → past =
drew
✔ Sixth blank =
drew
7.
Present: eat → Past: ?
*Eat* → past =
ate
✔ Seventh blank =
ate
Now let’s list all filled-in answers in order of the rows (left column = present, right column = past):
- begin →
began
-
bind → bound
- catch →
caught
-
choose → chose
-
do → did
- draw →
drew
- eat →
ate
Double-check each:
- begin → began ✔
- bind → bound ✔
- catch → caught ✔
- choose → chose ✔
- do → did ✔
- draw → drew ✔
- eat → ate ✔
All are standard irregular verbs — no -ed endings, as expected.
Final Answer:
began, bind, caught, choose, do, drew, ate
