To change these verbs into the past tense, we follow two simple rules shown in the worksheet:
1.
Regular Rule: If the verb does not end in "e", just add
-ed to the end.
* *Example:* jump + ed = jumped
2.
Ending in 'e' Rule: If the verb already ends with an "e", just add
-d. (This is because adding "-ed" would make it look like "ee-d").
* *Example:* serve + d = served
Let's solve each one step-by-step:
*
serve: Ends in "e". Add "d". →
served
*
choke: Ends in "e". Add "d". →
choked
*
jump: Does not end in "e". Add "ed". →
jumped
*
rush: Does not end in "e". Add "ed". →
rushed
*
pack: Does not end in "e". Add "ed". →
packed
*
play: Does not end in "e". Add "ed". →
played
*
hike: Ends in "e". Add "d". →
hiked
*
dine: Ends in "e". Add "d". →

Final Answer:
