Great White Shark - Practice #6

The reason for this assignment is for you to learn how to change a verb from present to past.  These are special verbs.  They are called irregular verbs.  The word, irregular, means it is different or not normal.  Normally, we change a present verb like play to played.  We just add an ed.  For irregular verbs, we don't do that.  We change the word to a very different word.

Examples:  say  >>  said                   or                   find  >>   found

Please complete these problems:
 
Directions: Write on a piece of binder paper, the past tense of the word.  You do not have to write the whole sentence.
