a) He fell over.
To form the past simple affirmative, we simply add "-ed" to regular verbs. In this case, the verb "fall" is a regular verb, so we add "-ed" to get "fell".
b) He injured himself.
Again, we add "-ed" to regular verbs. The verb "injure" is a regular verb, so we add "-ed" to get "injured".
Speaker 2:
c) She won the competition.
The verb "win" is an irregular verb, so its past simple form does not follow the regular "-ed" pattern. Instead, it changes to "won".
d) She enjoyed the experience.
The verb "enjoy" is a regular verb, so we add "-ed" to get "enjoyed".
Speaker 3:
e) no information given for the verb
The verb is not provided in the given information, so we cannot determine if it is regular or irregular.
f) His team lost the match.
The verb "lose" is an irregular verb, so its past simple form does not follow the regular "-ed" pattern. Instead, it remains the same as the base form.
Speaker 4:
g) no information given for the verb
The verb is not provided in the given information, so we cannot determine if it is regular or irregular.
h) She broke a record.
The verb "break" is an irregular verb, so its past simple form does not follow the regular "-ed" pattern. Instead, it changes to "broke".
i) no information given for the verb
The verb is not provided in the given information, so we cannot determine if it is regular or irregular.
To summarize, in this exercise:
- "fall" and "injure" are regular verbs
- "win", "lose", and "break" are irregular verbs
