Fill in the blanks with the correct past tense verbs using the suffix "-ed".

To solve this worksheet, we need to fill in the blanks with verbs that end in -ed. These are called past tense verbs because they tell us about something that already happened.

Here is the step-by-step thinking for each sentence:

1. The snow \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ in the hot sun.
* Think about what happens to snow when it gets hot. It turns into water. The word for this is "melt."
* Add -ed: melted.

2. Miss Hallworth \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ into the wooden desk.
* Think about an action you do to a desk, maybe by accident. You might hit it hard. The word is "bump."
* Add -ed: bumped.

3. He \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ with his plastic lego.
* What do you do with Lego? You put pieces together to build things. The word is "play."
* Add -ed: played.

4. I \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ a picture of my beautiful house.
* When you make a picture on paper or a computer, you "draw" or "paint." Let's use "draw."
* Add -ed: drew is irregular, but usually, these worksheets look for regular -ed endings. Let's try "paint." Paint + ed = painted. Or perhaps "sketched"? No, let's stick to common words. Another option is "took" (irregular). Let's look at the context. Usually, these lists have a specific word bank. Without the bank, we guess the most common regular verb. "Painted" fits well. Another very common one is "drew" but that doesn't end in -ed. Wait, the title is "Suffix -ed". So the word *must* end in -ed. "Drawn" is no. "Drew" is no. So it must be painted or colored. Let's go with painted.

5. Lara \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ for a new bike for her birthday.
* What do you do when you want something for your birthday? You ask for it or wish for it. "Wish" is a good fit.
* Add -ed: wished.

6. Miss Chambers \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ the door.
* What do you do to a door? You open it, close it, or knock on it. "Knock" is a very common classroom verb.
* Add -ed: knocked. (Or closed / opened). "Knocked" is a strong candidate for specific actions. Let's assume knocked or closed. Given typical school scenarios, "closed" or "opened" are very basic. Let's provide closed as a safe bet, or knocked. Let's look at sentence 9. "Stayed" is used there. Let's re-evaluate. Actually, without the word bank, there are multiple correct answers. I will provide the most likely standard verbs.
* Let's check sentence 8: "We \_\_\_\_ over the muddy puddle." You jump over puddles. Jump + ed = jumped.
* Sentence 7: "I \_\_\_\_ 50p more..." You pay money. Pay + ed = paid (irregular). But the topic is suffix -ed. Maybe "saved"? Save + d = saved. Yes, "saved" fits the pattern perfectly.
* Back to 6: Miss Chambers \_\_\_\_ the door. Closed or opened. Let's go with closed.
* Back to 4: I \_\_\_\_ a picture. Painted or drew (no). Colored? Color + ed = colored. This is very common for kids. Let's go with colored or painted. I'll list painted as it's very standard.

*Self-Correction*: Since I don't see the word bank at the bottom, I have to infer the most logical regular past-tense verbs.

1. melt -> melted
2. bump -> bumped (or crashed)
3. play -> played
4. paint/draw -> painted (since draw becomes drew, which doesn't fit the "-ed" rule strictly unless the worksheet accepts irregulars, but the title says "Suffix -ed", implying regular verbs).
5. wish -> wished
6. close/open/knock -> closed (or knocked)
7. save -> saved
8. jump -> jumped
9. stay -> stayed

Let's double-check spelling rules:
- Melted: Standard.
- Bumped: Standard.
- Played: Standard.
- Painted: Standard.
- Wished: Standard.
- Closed: Drop 'e' add 'd'? No, just add 'd' if it ends in e. Close -> Closed. Correct.
- Saved: Save -> Saved. Correct.
- Jumped: Standard.
- Stayed: Standard.

These all fit the "Suffix -ed" learning objective perfectly.

Final Answer:
1. melted
2. bumped
3. played
4. painted
5. wished
6. closed
7. saved
8. jumped
9. stayed
