Hi there. Could you please help me record this exercise at your slightly slow speed, with special attention given to irregular verbs? Please read the numbers, too. For the final sentence, there are two versions of the book: In its first edition - Lucy wrote a letter to her RELATIVE OVERSEAS. and in its later edition - Lucy wrote a letter to her OVERSEAS RELATIVE. For me, the first version looks better, but I don't know why the writers change it. Please help me choose one which sounds more natural to you. In case other sentences sound strange to you, please edit them. Thank you in advance! :)
Fill in the verbs in irregular past simple form.
1) drive – drove: My mum drove me to the mall with my sister this morning.
2) find – found: The bag was lost, but my aunt found it after that.
3) make – made: Amy made breakfast for her father on Father’s Day.
4) see – saw: My grandfather saw an eagle in the park yesterday.
5) speak – spoke: She spoke to the teacher about the bully.
6) give – gave: John gave his sister a doll for her birthday.
7) eat – ate: My brother ate two bowls of rice after the marathon.
8) write – wrote: Lucy wrote a letter to her overseas relative.
Hi Thom,
I think "relative overseas" sounds better.
