Question

what are the mistakes in this sentence?

Mr.Gappy had ate a few of the lady's marvelous doughnuts.

Answers

Ms. Sue
The verb <i>ate</i> is incorrect.

The principal parts of the verb <u>eat</u> are:

Present: I always <u>eat</u> cereal for breakfast.
Past: Yesterday I <u>ate</u> pancakes.
Past participle: I had <u>eaten</u> too many pancakes before I got sick.

What change do you think you should make in this sentence?
