Answers and explanations

Show the answer key
  1. sings"Sings" is what Priya is doing, so it is the verb.
  2. ran"Run" becomes "ran" in the past. It does not add -ed.
  3. goesWith "she", the verb takes an s: she goes.
  4. I ate my lunch."Ate" is the past form of "eat", so it has already happened.
  5. table"Table" is a thing, so it is a noun. The rest are all actions.
  6. bought"Buy" becomes "bought" — another verb that does not follow the -ed rule.
