A review
Before we start with the exercises, let's review the use of the past. In these exercises we are going to use two types of past: the simple past and the past perfect:

The simple past tense uses the second column of the list of irregular verbs and is used for past and finished actions. In this case, since we are dealing with the verb speak in the past tense, we will use spoke :
New Call-to-action

She spoke to her parents about her problems at school .

The past perfect tense uses the third column of the list of irregular verbs and is used for actions prior to those narrated in the simple past. In the case of the verb speak it would be spoken . It is combined with the auxiliary had :
