English Grammar Exercise (Simple Past Irregulars)

One of the hardest things when you’re learning English are the irregular verbs! It’s difficult to remember them all.

However, it is still good to practice with some grammar exercises now and then, so here we are with a Simple Past Irregulars exercise!
