Question: 1 / 400

In the past simple example "I gave Charlie a blended cup of coffee," what is one of the past simple verbs?

Blend

Happy

Gave

In the sentence "I gave Charlie a blended cup of coffee," the past simple verb is "gave." This verb indicates an action that occurred in the past, specifically the act of giving something. In English grammar, the past simple tense is used to describe completed actions that took place at a specific time in the past. In this case, "gave" is the second form of the verb "give," which is necessary for conveying that the action has already happened.

The other words in the sentence serve different grammatical functions: "blend" is used as an adjective in this context ("blended cup"), "happy" describes a state of being and is neither a verb nor related to the action of giving, and "coffee" is a noun that identifies the object being given. Therefore, "gave" is the only word that fits the criteria of being a past simple verb in this example.
