Answers
a. Returned- Here past tense will be used because second part of phrase is in past.
b. Was- Here ‘’was’’ will be used because mother is a singular word and ‘’were’’ is used only for plural.
c. Scattered- As the given sentence is in past so we will use past form of ‘’scatter’’
d. Was- In the next part of sentence ‘’annoyed’’ is used which is a past form so sentence should be in past. Therefore, ‘’was’’ will be used in place of ‘’am’’
e. Enter- If a sentence starts with ‘’did’’ we use only present form of verb.
f. Scrap- Here ‘’scrape’’ is a verb which means to remove something but in this sentence a noun ‘’scrap’’ will be used.
g. Was searching- Past continuous will be used because action was going on.
