1. What is the past simple of "go"?
✅ went
"Went" is the irregular past of "go". Common irregulars: go→went, see→saw, eat→ate, have→had, come→came, take→took.
2. Complete the negative: "She ___ go to school yesterday."
✅ didn't
Negatives in the past use "didn't" for every person, and then the verb goes back to its BASE form: didn't go, not "didn't went". The auxiliary already carries the past.
3. Complete: "I ___ that book last month." (read)
✅ read
"Read" is spelt the same in the present and the past, but the past is pronounced /red/. "Last month" is the only clue.
