03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | went | Last Sunday is past time, and go is irregular, so the past form is went. |
| 2 | cooked | Yesterday points to the past, so the regular verb cook simply takes -ed. |
| 3 | began | The past form of begin is began; begined is never correct. |
| 4 | did not watch | A past negative uses did not plus the base verb watch. |
| 5 | Did / arrive | A past question puts Did before the subject and keeps the base verb. |
| 6 | ago | Ago follows the length of time, and the verb stays in the past. |
| 7 | stopped / waited | Stop doubles its final consonant before -ed, giving stopped. |
| 8 | I did not go to the party last Friday. | After did not the base verb go is required, never the past form went. |
| 9 | We were very happy last night. | The plural subject We takes were, not was. |
| 10 | bought | Buy becomes bought in the past; the common wrong answer buyed applies -ed by mistake. |
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.
