Correcting Verb Tense Mistakes for 11-year-olds

A guide to identifying and correcting verb tense mistakes in sentences, tailored for 11-year-old learners.

The corrected sentence should read:
I ought to study more for the test.
The mistake in the original sentence is with the verb tense. The phrase 'ought to' is followed by the base form of the verb, which in this case is 'study.' Therefore, instead of 'studied,' we use 'study.'
