Let’s solve this step by step.
We have 20 verbs listed (1 to 20). For each verb, we need to:
1. Match it with the correct image (we’ll do this mentally based on common sense).
2. Write its past tense form.
3. Decide if it’s a
regular or
irregular verb.
- Regular verbs add “-ed” in past tense (like “walk → walked”).
- Irregular verbs change in other ways (like “eat → ate”, “go → went”).
Let’s go one by one:
---
1. CATCH → Image: boy catching ball? Past tense =
caught → Irregular
2. DRINK → Image: girl drinking from cup? Past tense =
drank → Irregular
3. OPEN → Image: hand opening door? Past tense =
opened → Regular
4. WORK → Image: person at desk working? Past tense =
worked → Regular
5. EAT → Image: kid eating sandwich? Past tense =
ate → Irregular
6. CARRY → Image: boy carrying books? Past tense =
carried → Regular (y → ied)
7. CUT → Image: scissors cutting paper? Past tense =
cut → Irregular (same as present)
8. FALL → Image: man falling down? Past tense =
fell → Irregular
9. HELP → Image: helping someone up? Past tense =
helped → Regular
10. ASK → Image: girl asking question? Past tense =
asked → Regular
11. THINK → Image: girl thinking with ? mark? Past tense =
thought → Irregular
12. WRITE → Image: hand writing letter? Past tense =
wrote → Irregular
13. PLAY → Image: kids playing outside? Past tense =
played → Regular
14. WATCH → Image: boy watching TV? Past tense =
watched → Regular
15. BREAK → Image: broken vase? Past tense =
broke → Irregular
16. WALK → Image: girl walking through door? Past tense =
walked → Regular
17. DRIVE → Image: person driving car? Past tense =
drove → Irregular
18. COVER → Image: covering something with blanket? Past tense =
covered → Regular
19. CLOSE → Image: closing door? Past tense =

20. SIT → Image: sitting on chair? Past tense =

Now let’s sort them into two columns:
Regular Verbs (add -ed or follow regular pattern):
- opened (3)
- worked (4)
- carried (6)
- helped (9)
- asked (10)
- played (13)
- watched (14)
- walked (16)
- covered (18)
- closed (19)
→ That’s 10 regular verbs.
Irregular Verbs (change form unpredictably):
- caught (1)
- drank (2)
- ate (5)
- cut (7)
- fell (8)
- thought (11)
- wrote (12)
- broke (15)
- drove (17)
- sat (20)
→ That’s 10 irregular verbs.
Double-checking: All 20 are accounted for. No mistakes in past tense forms.
Final Answer:
Regular Verbs:
opened, worked, carried, helped, asked, played, watched, walked, covered, closed
Irregular Verbs:
caught, drank, ate, cut, fell, thought, wrote, broke, drove, sat
