Explanation:

The correct form of the verb in this paragraph is simple past tense because a word in this paragraph tells us that this scene was already performed. The words is 'yesterday'. So it tells us that the scene was already performed and the correct forms of these verbs are past tense.

The simple past tense, is used to talk about a completed action.

When you have to change a verb to past tense, you have to follow these steps:

• Regular verbs (work, play, talk, walk, etc.) change into past tense by adding -ed at the end. ( worked, played, talked, walked)    [verb+ed}

               

• Irregular verbs ( write, sleep, teach, see, etc.) change into paste tense by completely changing the word. (wrote, slept, taught, saw, etc.)

Some sentences in the simple past tense:

• Regular verbs: i) I sometimes walked to home at lunch time.                                         ii) He lived in Paris.                                                                                                       iii) We crossed the Channel yesterday.                                                           iv) John Cabot sailed to America in 1498
• Irregular verbs: i)He went to a club last night.
• Did he go to the cinema last night?
• He didn't go to bed early last night.
