Firstly, we need to find the correct form of the verb "learn" to complete the sentence. Since the subject is "I" and the action is in progress, we use the -ing form of the verb "learn." Therefore, the correct form is "learning."
2. I spend all my free time doing karate. I joined a club three years ago and I’ve just got my black belt.
In this sentence, we need to use three verbs: "spend," "join," and "get."
- "Spend" is used to show how we use our time. We use the base form of the verb "spend" without any changes.
- "Join" is used to indicate when we became a part of a club. Since the action happened in the past, we use the base form of the verb "join."
- "Get" is used to show an achievement. In this case, we use the past participle form of the verb "get," which is "got."
3. I used to go windsurfing every week but I had to give it up when I started university because I didn’t have the time.
In this sentence, we need to use the verb "give it up."
- "Used to" is used to talk about past habits or regular actions. Since the action of going windsurfing happened in the past, we use "used to."
- "Give it up" means to stop doing something. Since the action of giving up windsurfing happened in the past when starting university, we use the base form of the verb "give" and add the pronoun "it."
4. I paint most evenings and weekends. I find it relaxing and it takes my mind off work.
In this sentence, we need to use the verbs "relax" and "take."
- "Find" is used to express a personal opinion or feeling. We use the base form of the verb "find" without any changes.
- "Relaxing" is the -ing form of the verb "relax" used as an adjective to describe the painting.
- "Takes" is the third person singular form of the verb "take" used because the subject is "it" and the verb is in the present tense.
5. I go fishing quite a lot. It gets me out of the house and it helps me relax and forget all my worries.
In this sentence, we need to use the verbs "get" and "take."
- "Gets" is the third person singular form of the verb "get" used because the subject is "it" and the verb is in the present tense.
- "Take" is the base form of the verb used after "helps me" to express the action of taking away worries.
6. I took up golf when I was about 40 when I had to stop playing rugby.
In this sentence, we need to use the verb "take up."
- "Took up" is the past simple form of the verb "take up" used to express starting a new activity or hobby in the past. Since the action of taking up golf happened when the person was about 40, we use the past simple form of the verb "take up".
