6. Look! Smoke  came (come) out of that window.

  • Here we have used "came" because the event has already occurred or had taken place, thus making it a past event.

7. He wanted (want) to buy a scooter.

  • Here we have used "wanted" because he has a desire to buy a scooter, which he has thought from earlier.

8. The Principal is speaking (speak) to the teachers. You can't meet him at this time.

  • Here we have used "is speaking" because the event is still going on and in the present moment.

9. This house belongs (belong) to my uncle. He built (build) another

house also.

  • He has already a house, another house is already been built, so we have used "built" here.

10. What happened (happen) in that house? I  saw (see) a small crowd in front

of it.

  • Here we have used "happened and saw" because the event has already occurred or had taken place, thus making it a past event.

11. They built (build) a bridge across the river.

  • Here we have used "wanted" because the event has already occurred or had taken place, thus making it a past event.

12. I have (have) a new computer.

  • Here we have used "have" because he still has a computer.

13. He seems (seem) to be sick.

  • He might be sick.

14. The commission prepared (prepare) its report.

  • Here we have used "prepared" because the event has already occurred or had taken place, thus making it a past event.

15. He is still sleeping (sleep) in his room.
