H. Fall, fell, fallenExplanation
The verbs "know, knew, known," "push, pushed, pushed," "take, took, taken," "teach, taught, taught," and "fall, fell, fallen" are all correct forms. These verbs follow the regular pattern of adding -ed to form the past tense and using the past participle form with the auxiliary verb "have" to form the present perfect tense. The verbs "do, did, don't" and "cry, cryd, cryed" are incorrect because they do not follow the regular pattern of verb conjugation. The verb "tell, told, tellen" is incorrect because "tellen" is not a valid past participle form. The verb "play, plaied, plaied" is incorrect because the correct past tense form is "played."Rate this question:
