Answer 1

i). The lady had extinguished the candle before she went to sleep.

ii). The truck collided with a bus on the highway.

iii). Students gathered in the auditorium for they wanted to show respect to the new teacher.

Explanation:

• The given sentences are written in the present indefinite tense that shows habitual actions and universal truths. While Past tense denotes the actions that occurred at a particular time in the past.
• In order to convert these sentences into the past tense, the past form(V2) would be used in place of 'V1 + s/es' to depict that the action took place before now.
• In the first sentence, there are two actions and thus, the first action is framed in past perfect('had extinguished') and the latter in past indefinite tense('went').
