03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | visited | Yesterday points to the past, so the regular verb simply takes -ed. |
| 2 | went | Go is irregular, so its past form is went. |
| 3 | watched | Last night is past time, so watch takes -ed to become watched. |
| 4 | did not play | A past negative uses did not with the base verb, never played. |
| 5 | ate | The past form of eat is ate, used for a finished past action. |
| 6 | bought | Buy becomes bought in the past, so the -ed rule does not apply. |
| 7 | Did / finish | A past question puts Did before the subject and keeps the verb in its base form. |
| 8 | ran / drank | Run and drink are both irregular, with past forms ran and drank. |
| 9 | He went to the library yesterday. | Go is irregular, so goed is never correct. |
| 10 | saw | The past of see is saw; the common wrong answer seeds the -ed rule onto an irregular verb. |
04 What to do after marking
- After marking, redo only the wrong items and write down which step went wrong (formula, unit, or misread number).
- Repeat the same item two days later; move to the next paper only when both attempts are correct.
- Parents only need the answer and note columns; there is no need to explain every item.
