2. I__  chicken and a salad for dinner yesterday. 

Explanation

The correct answer is "ate." The sentence is in the past tense, and "ate" is the correct past tense form of the verb "eat" to use with the subject "I."

Submit
3. Where did you go last night?

Explanation

The correct answer is "I went for a walk." This answer is correct because it uses the correct verb tense, "went," to indicate a past action. The other options, "I goed for a walk" and "I did go for a walk," are grammatically incorrect. "Goed" is not a correct past tense form of "go," and the use of "did" is unnecessary and does not fit the sentence structure.

Submit
4. When I was a teenager, I ___ in my diary every day. 

Explanation

The correct answer is "wrote". This is because the verb "wrote" is the past tense form of the verb "write", which is the appropriate action for recording thoughts and experiences in a diary. The other option "spoke" is not suitable in this context as it implies verbal communication rather than written expression.

Submit
5. It ____ (take) a little time before I understood what happened. 

Explanation

The correct answer is "took". This is the past tense form of the verb "take". In the sentence, the speaker is referring to a past event that required some time for them to understand. Therefore, "took" is the appropriate verb form to indicate that it took some time before the speaker understood what happened.

Submit
6. How did you get to Athens? I ________ (drive) my car. 

Explanation

The correct answer is "drove". In this sentence, the speaker is talking about how they traveled to Athens. The verb "drive" is the past tense form of the verb, which is used to indicate an action that occurred in the past. Therefore, "drove" is the correct form to use in this sentence. "Drived" is not a valid past tense form of the verb "drive".

Submit
7. Last year, I ____ (leave) Thessaloniki to move to Athens. 

Explanation

The correct answer is "left". In this sentence, we are talking about an action that happened in the past, so we need to use the past tense of the verb "leave". "Leaved" is not a correct form of the verb "leave" in the past tense.

Submit
8. Bring in the past simple. 

Explanation

The correct answer is "brought". In this sentence, we need to use the past simple tense of the verb "bring". "Brought" is the correct past simple form of "bring". "Bringed" is not a word in English, and "bringht" is a misspelling. Therefore, the correct answer is "brought".

Submit

Submit
10. What did you do yesterday?

Explanation

The correct answer is "I read a book" because "read" is the past tense form of the verb "read," so it is grammatically correct. "Readed" is not a correct past tense form of the verb, so it is incorrect.

Submit
11. My cousin  ___ a letter last week. It was nice to hear from her since she lives in Korea. 

Explanation

The correct answer is "sent". In the context of the sentence, the word "sent" fits grammatically and logically. It implies that the cousin took the action of sending a letter, which is consistent with the information given that the cousin lives in Korea and it was nice to hear from her.

Submit
12. I  _____  (ride) my motorcycle towards the sunset yesterday.

Submit
14. My mum ___ some cake for breakfast.

Explanation

The correct answer is "made". In this sentence, we are talking about an action that already happened in the past. "Made" is the past tense form of the verb "make", which is the appropriate choice in this context.

Submit
15. What did you wear at the party?

Explanation

The correct answer is "I wore a red dress and black shoes." This answer is correct because it uses the past tense form of the verb "wear" which is "wore." The other options, "I weared" and "I wored," are incorrect because they use non-standard verb forms that do not follow the regular conjugation pattern.

Submit
16. He wasn't quiet, so he .................. mum up. 

Explanation

The correct answer is "woke". In this sentence, the past tense of the verb "wake" is needed to complete the sentence grammatically. "Woke" is the past tense form of "wake", indicating that someone or something caused him to become alert or stop being quiet.

Submit
17. Last summer I _______ in the sea every day. 

Explanation

The correct answer is "swam" because it is the past tense form of the verb "swim." In the sentence, the speaker is referring to an action that happened in the past, specifically last summer. Therefore, the past tense form of the verb is used to indicate this. "Swimmed" is not a correct past tense form of the verb "swim," and "went" does not convey the same meaning as swimming in the sea.

Submit
18. We had serious things to talk about, so we _____ (talk) for hours. 

Explanation

The correct answer is "talked". In this sentence, the past tense of the verb "talk" is needed to indicate that the action of talking happened in the past. The sentence suggests that the speaker and someone else had important matters to discuss, so they engaged in a lengthy conversation.

Submit
