🔍 Notes:
- Some words like "ate", "slip", "turn", "spin", "wish", "beg", "fall" were not used. That's okay — we only need to use the ones that fit.
- "Ate" is past tense, so it wouldn’t work in these present/future contexts unless specified.
- "Beg" or "wish" don’t fit naturally in any of the sentences.
✔ All answers are grammatically correct and make sense in context.
