Correct answers:

1. Someone ate all the leftover sandwiches. (past tense of 'eat')
To determine the correct form of the verb, we need to use the past tense. In this sentence, we are referring to an action that has already happened. Therefore, we use 'ate' as the past tense of 'eat.'

2. Thank you, but I have already eaten lunch. (past participle of 'eat')
In this sentence, we are referring to a completed action in the past. We use the present perfect tense to express this. For the past participle of 'eat,' we use 'eaten' after the auxiliary verb 'have.'

3. After splitting the logs, the farmer set his ax on the ground. (past tense of 'sit')
To determine the correct form of the verb, we need to use the past tense. In this sentence, the farmer performed the action of placing his ax on the ground after splitting the logs. Therefore, we use 'set' as the past tense of 'sit.'
