Sure! Here is a detailed and step-by-step solution to help a student understand and complete the exercise:
To complete the sentences, we need to fill in the gaps with the correct forms of the verbs in brackets. Let's take a look at each sentence one by one:
1. I (be) _________ at the park with my friends yesterday.
In this sentence, we need to fill in the gap with the correct form of the verb "be". The sentence is talking about an action that happened in the past. We also need to remember not to use contractions. The correct form of the verb "be" in the past tense without a contraction is "was". So, the completed sentence would be:
"I was at the park with my friends yesterday."
2. They (eat) _________ ice cream after school every day.
In this sentence, we need to fill in the gap with the correct form of the verb "eat". The sentence is talking about a habitual action that happens every day. The subject "they" refers to more than one person, so we need to use the correct form of the verb "eat" for the plural form. The correct form of the verb "eat" in the present tense for the plural form without a contraction is "eat". So, the completed sentence would be:
"They eat ice cream after school every day."
3. She (study) _________ for her exams all night yesterday.
In this sentence, we need to fill in the gap with the correct form of the verb "study". The sentence is talking about an action that happened in the past. The subject "she" refers to one person, so we need to use the correct form of the verb "study" for the singular form. The correct form of the verb "study" in the past tense without a contraction is "studied". So, the completed sentence would be:
"She studied for her exams all night yesterday."
4. We (go) _________ to the beach every summer.
In this sentence, we need to fill in the gap with the correct form of the verb "go". The sentence is talking about a habitual action that happens every summer. The subject "we" refers to more than one person, so we need to use the correct form of the verb "go" for the plural form. The correct form of the verb "go" in the present tense for the plural form without a contraction is "go". So, the completed sentence would be:
"We go to the beach every summer."
5. He (play) _________ basketball with his friends last weekend.
In this sentence, we need to fill in the gap with the correct form of the verb "play". The sentence is talking about an action that happened in the past. The subject "he" refers to one person, so we need to use the correct form of the verb "play" for the singular form. The correct form of the verb "play" in the past tense without a contraction is "played". So, the completed sentence would be:
"He played basketball with his friends last weekend."
I hope this detailed explanation helps you understand how to complete the sentences with the correct forms of the verbs!
