Answer 2

Para completar corretamente o exercício basta flexionar os verbos no simple past, o tempo verbal proposto pela atividade.

Para tanto, nos verbos regulares, deve-se utilizar o infinitivo, retirando partícula ''to'' e acrescentando a terminação -ed.

Caso o verbo termine em y precedido por consoante, deve-se acrescentar o -ied; se houver terminação por consoante+vogal+consoante, então dobra-se a consoante antes de acrescentar o -ed.

A sequência correta será:

• got
• took
• had
• ate
• went
• heard
• thought
• came
• took
• got
• rang
• said
• thought
• heard
• put
• went
• got
• drove
• told
• lost
• said
• wrote
• rang
• felt
• thought
• got
• was
• went
• was
• bought
• read
• got
• got
• put
• ran
• heard
• held
• found
