Answer Explanations<\/h1>\n

Question 1 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is wrote<\/strong>. The sentence includes \u201clast night,\u201d so it talks about a completed action in the past. \u201cWrite\u201d is an irregular verb, so we do not add -ed<\/strong> to form the Past Simple. The correct Past Simple form of \u201cwrite\u201d is wrote<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Question 2 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is came<\/strong>. The word \u201cyesterday\u201d shows that the action happened at a finished time in the past. \u201cCome\u201d is an irregular verb, and its Past Simple form is came<\/strong>. In positive Past Simple sentences, the main verb must be in its past form.<\/p>\n

Question 3 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is find<\/strong>. In negative Past Simple sentences, we use didn\u2019t<\/strong> plus the base form of the verb. The auxiliary verb didn\u2019t<\/strong> already shows the past meaning, so the main verb does not change. That is why the base form find<\/strong> is correct.<\/p>\n

Question 4 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is open<\/strong>. In Past Simple questions, we use did<\/strong> plus the base form of the verb. Even though the question is about the past, the main verb stays in its base form because did<\/strong> carries the past tense. Therefore, open<\/strong> is the correct form after \u201cdid.\u201d<\/p>\n

Question 5 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is ate<\/strong>. The sentence describes a completed past action. \u201cEat\u201d is an irregular verb, so its Past Simple form is not \u201ceated.\u201d The correct Past Simple form of \u201ceat\u201d is ate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Question 6 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is lost<\/strong>. The sentence talks about something that happened in the past on the bus. \u201cLose\u201d is an irregular verb, and its Past Simple form is lost<\/strong>. Because this is a positive sentence, the irregular past form is needed.<\/p>\n

Question 7 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is take<\/strong>. After didn\u2019t<\/strong>, we use the base form of the main verb. \u201cTake\u201d is irregular in positive Past Simple sentences, but it does not become \u201ctook\u201d after didn\u2019t<\/strong>. The past meaning is already shown by the auxiliary verb.<\/p>\n

Question 8 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is hear<\/strong>. In Past Simple questions, did<\/strong> is followed by the base form of the verb. The verb should not be changed into the past form after did<\/strong>. The question asks whether they heard the news in the past.<\/p>\n

Question 9 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is saw<\/strong>. The sentence describes a completed past event. \u201cSee\u201d is an irregular verb, and its Past Simple form is saw<\/strong>. Since this is a positive Past Simple sentence, the past form of the verb is required.<\/p>\n

Question 10 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is understood<\/strong>. The sentence talks about a completed action in the past. \u201cUnderstand\u201d is an irregular verb, and its Past Simple form is understood<\/strong>. The sentence means that the students understood the answer at that past moment.<\/p>\n

Question 11 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is do<\/strong>. In negative Past Simple sentences, didn\u2019t<\/strong> is followed by the base form of the verb. The main verb does not become \u201cdid\u201d after didn\u2019t<\/strong> because the auxiliary already shows past tense. Therefore, do<\/strong> is correct.<\/p>\n

Question 12 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is have<\/strong>. In Past Simple questions, we use did<\/strong> plus the base form of the verb. The verb \u201chave\u201d becomes \u201chad\u201d in positive Past Simple sentences, but after did<\/strong>, it stays in the base form. The correct structure is \u201cDid you have…?\u201d<\/p>\n

Question 13 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is bought<\/strong>. The sentence describes a completed action for the wedding. \u201cBuy\u201d is an irregular verb, so its Past Simple form is not made with -ed<\/strong>. The correct Past Simple form of \u201cbuy\u201d is bought<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Question 14 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is were<\/strong>. The sentence describes a past state or feeling after the match. With plural subjects like \u201cwe,\u201d the Past Simple form of \u201cbe\u201d is were<\/strong>. The sentence means that the speakers felt happy in the past.<\/p>\n

Question 15 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is gave<\/strong>. The word \u201cyesterday\u201d shows that the action happened at a finished time in the past. \u201cGive\u201d is an irregular verb, and its Past Simple form is gave<\/strong>. Because this is a positive Past Simple sentence, the irregular past form is needed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
