Simple Past Tense Worksheet with Irregular Verbs for English Language Learners

Let’s go step by step to fill in each blank with the correct Simple Past Tense form of the verb from the list.

We are given these verbs:
- live → lived

- listen → listened
- drive → drove
- make → made
- play → played
- sing → sang
- watch → watched
- go → went
- take → took
- get up → got up
- drink → drank
- do → did

Now, let’s match each sentence:

---

a) Gözde ________ a cake yesterday.
→ “make” fits here → made

b) I ________ in a French company ten years ago.
→ “work” → worked

c) My sister ________ badminton yesterday.
→ “play” → played

d) Edward ________ so fast last night.
→ “drive” → drove

e) Kate ________ a flat in the centre of the city.
→ “live” → lived

f) We ________ our favourite song.
→ “sing” → sang

g) I ________ a baby twelve years ago.

h) My parents ________ Korean films last night.

i) Our neighbours ________ to London.

j) I ________ my family photo.

k) Oğuz ________ late because it was Sunday.
→ “get up” → got up

l) Keith ________ coffee after dinner.
→ “drink” → drank

m) His little sister ________ her homework after lunch.
→ “do” → did

n) Dad ________ dinner for us three times a week.
→ Wait — this says “three times a week” — that’s habitual, not past! But the worksheet is about Simple Past. Maybe it’s a trick? Or maybe it should be “last week”? Let’s assume it’s meant to be past tense → “prepare” → prepared

*(Note: If it really means “three times a week” as a habit, it would be present tense — but since the whole worksheet is Simple Past, we’ll go with “prepared” assuming it happened in the past.)*

o) My brother and I ________ to pop music yesterday morning.
→ “listen” → listened
