Regular and Irregular Verbs worksheet for practicing past tense forms and sentence completion.

Task: Solve the problem and explain the solution

#### Part A: Write the past tense of the verbs.

We need to write the past tense of each verb listed in the table. Here are the solutions:

| Verb | Past Tense | Verb | Past Tense |
|--------|------------|---------|------------|
| 1. go | went | 9. is | was |
| 2. swim| swam | 10. are | were |
| 3. eat | ate | 11. cook| cooked |
| 4. take| took | 12. make| made |

| 6. have| had | 14. sleep| slept |
| 7. catch| caught | 15. drink| drank |
| 8. sail | sailed | 16. drive| drove |

Explanation:
- Regular Verbs: Most verbs form their past tense by adding "-ed" (e.g., "cook" → "cooked").
- Irregular Verbs: Some verbs do not follow a regular pattern and have unique past tense forms (e.g., "go" → "went," "swim" → "swam," "eat" → "ate").
