Select the correct form of verb for past tense of "Work "
- A.
Workt
- B.
Worked
- C.
Workied
- D.
Wourked
Correct Answer
B. WorkedExplanation
The correct form of the past tense of "Work" is "Worked". This is the correct answer because when forming the past tense of regular verbs in English, we usually add "-ed" to the base form of the verb. In this case, "Work" becomes "Worked" in the past tense. The other options, "Workt", "Workied", and "Wourked", do not follow the regular pattern for forming the past tense of verbs and are therefore incorrect.Rate this question:

- A.
Buyed
- B.
Buyied
- C.
Bought
- D.
Boughted
Correct Answer
C. BoughtExplanation
The correct past tense form of the verb "buy" is "bought." This is the standard past tense form of the verb and is used to indicate that the action of buying has already occurred in the past. "Buyed" and "buyied" are incorrect forms of the verb and do not follow the regular conjugation pattern. "Boughted" is also incorrect as the "-ed" suffix is not added to the verb "buy" to form its past tense.Rate this question:
