The correct answer is went. The sentence includes “yesterday,” so it talks about a finished action in the past. The verb “go” is irregular, so its Past Simple form is not “goed.” The correct Past Simple form of “go” is “went.”
Question 2 Explanation
The correct answer is bought. The phrase “last weekend” shows that the action happened at a finished time in the past. “Buy” is an irregular verb, so we do not add -ed to make the past form. The Past Simple form of “buy” is “bought.”
Question 3 Explanation
The correct answer is know. In negative Past Simple sentences, we use “didn’t” plus the base form of the verb. The auxiliary verb “didn’t” already shows the past meaning, so the main verb must not be changed. That is why the base form “know” is correct.
Question 4 Explanation
The correct answer is leave. In Past Simple questions, we use “did” plus the base form of the verb. The word “did” carries the past meaning, so the main verb stays in its base form. Therefore, “leave” is the correct form after “did.”
Question 5 Explanation
The correct answer is met. The sentence describes a completed past action. “Meet” is an irregular verb, and its Past Simple form is “met.” Because this is a positive Past Simple sentence, the irregular past form is needed.
Question 6 Explanation
The correct answer is saw. The phrase “last night” shows that the action happened in the past and is now finished. “See” is an irregular verb, and its Past Simple form is “saw.” In positive Past Simple sentences, we use the past form of the main verb.
Question 7 Explanation
The correct answer is have. In negative Past Simple sentences, the structure is “didn’t” plus the base verb. Even though “have” is irregular in positive Past Simple sentences, it stays in the base form after “didn’t.” The past meaning is already shown by the auxiliary verb.
Question 8 Explanation
The correct answer is come. In Past Simple questions, the auxiliary “did” is followed by the base form of the main verb. The verb “come” should not become “came” after “did.” The question asks whether the action happened in the past.
Question 9 Explanation
The correct answer is took. The sentence describes a completed action in the past. “Take” is an irregular verb, and its Past Simple form is “took.” The meaning is that the father took a picture at a past time.
Question 10 Explanation
The correct answer is was. The sentence describes a past state after the journey. With the subject “I,” the Past Simple form of “be” is “was.” This form is used to describe how the speaker felt in the past.
Question 11 Explanation
The correct answer is ran. The sentence talks about a completed past action after lunch. “Run” is an irregular verb, and its Past Simple form is “ran.” Since this is a positive sentence, the irregular past form is required.
Question 12 Explanation
The correct answer is spend. After “didn’t,” we use the base form of the verb. The verb “spend” is irregular in positive Past Simple sentences, but it does not change after “didn’t.” The sentence means that no money was spent at the market.
Question 13 Explanation
The correct answer is read. In Past Simple questions, “did” is followed by the base form of the verb. The verb “read” has the same spelling in the base form and Past Simple form, but after “did,” it is grammatically the base form. The sentence asks whether she read the book in the past.
Question 14 Explanation
The correct answer is did. The sentence is a positive Past Simple sentence about a completed action before dinner. The verb “do” is irregular, and its Past Simple form is “did.” Therefore, “did” is needed as the main verb in this sentence.
Question 15 Explanation
The correct answer is were. The sentence describes a past feeling or state. With plural subjects like “they,” the Past Simple form of “be” is “were.” The sentence means that they felt happy after hearing the news.
