For each sentence, change the tense of the underlined verb to agree with the bolded verb.
Example:
Peter closed the book and puts it on the shelf.
The bolded word, closed, is in past tense, while the underlined word, puts, is in present tense.
So, we change the underlined word to past tense, and the sentence becomes:
Peter closed the book and put it on the shelf.
