Identify the principal part of the underlined verb.
Lucia got the majority of the votes. (Points : 1)
present
present participle
past
past participle
(Got is underlined)
My Answer: Present
No, that's not right.
Below are the principal parts of three verbs:
walk - present
walking - present participle
walked - past
walked - past participle
go - present
going - present participle
went - past
gone - past participle
sleep - present
sleeping - present participle
slept - past
slept - past participle
Now ... where would you put "got" in the listing of principal parts for that verb?
Past
The correct answer is past. The principal part of the underlined verb "got" is past.
I'm sorry, but that is not the correct answer.
To identify the principal part of the underlined verb, we need to determine the base form of the verb. In this case, the underlined verb is "got."
The base form of the verb "get" is "get," but "got" is the simple past tense form. Therefore, the principal part of the underlined verb is "past."
So, the correct answer is "past."
