a) Сортируем глаголы по способу образования Past Simple.
- К глаголам watch, call, fill добавляем -ed.
- У stop и drop после краткой гласной удваиваем согласную и добавляем -ed.
- У dive и solve на конце уже есть e, поэтому добавляем только -d.
- У cry и try перед y стоит согласная, поэтому y меняем на i и добавляем -ed.
- Остальные глаголы неправильные: find – found, tell – told, take – took, go – went, feel – felt, send – sent.
b) Подставляем подходящие по смыслу формы:
Правильные глаголы образуют Past Simple с помощью -ed. Правописание зависит от конца слова: -d после e, удвоение согласной после краткой гласной, -ied после согласной + y. Неправильные глаголы нужно запоминать.
a)
