WREN & MARTIN's English grammar-conjugation of the verb love-past tense.

 

1. I _______ playing in the rain when I was a child. A) love B) loves C) loved D) was love

✅ Answer: C) loved The simple past tense of "love" is "loved" for all persons (I/you/he/she/we/they). Add -d to verbs ending in -e.

2. She _______ her first dog more than anything in the world. A) love B) was loving C) did loved D) loved

✅ Answer: D) loved "Loved" is the correct simple past form for third-person singular (she/he/it). All subjects use the same form "loved" in simple past.

3. _______ they love the movie they watched last night? A) Was B) Were C) Did D) Does

✅ Answer: C) Did In past tense questions, "Did" is the auxiliary verb for all subjects. The main verb returns to its base form: "Did they love...?" — not "loved."

4. He _______ not love the food at the restaurant yesterday. A) was B) were C) does D) did

✅ Answer: D) did In past tense negatives, "did not" (didn't) is used for all subjects. The main verb stays in base form: "He did not love..." — never "did not loved."

5. We _______ every moment of our holiday in the mountains. A) love B) are loving C) loved D) did loved

✅ Answer: C) loved "Loved" is the simple past form for "we" (first-person plural). It expresses a completed action or feeling in the past.

6. The children _______ the story their grandmother told them. A) loves B) does love C) loved D) did loves

✅ Answer: C) loved "The children" is a plural subject. The simple past form "loved" is the same for all subjects — singular or plural. "Did loves" is grammatically incorrect.

7. _______ she love her new school when she first joined? A) Was B) Were C) Do D) Did

✅ Answer: D) Did For past tense yes/no questions with all subjects including she/he/it, "Did" is the correct auxiliary. The main verb "love" stays in base form after "Did."

8. I _______ the taste of coffee until I started working long hours. A) didn't loved B) wasn't love C) didn't love D) don't loved

✅ Answer: C) didn't love The correct past negative structure is "didn't (did not) + base verb." "Didn't loved" is a very common error — never add -ed after "didn't."

9. My grandmother _______ roses and always kept them in her garden. A) love B) is loving C) did loved D) loved

✅ Answer: D) loved "My grandmother" is a third-person singular subject. "Loved" is the correct simple past form. "Did loved" is wrong — past tense is formed with "loved" alone, not "did + loved."

10. _______ your parents love the gift you gave them on their anniversary? A) Were B) Do C) Was D) Did

✅ Answer: D) Did "Did" is the auxiliary used for all subjects in past tense questions. The verb "love" remains in its base form after "did." "Were/Was" would require a continuous form (e.g., "Were they loving...?" — which is unnatural with stative verbs like love).
