Complete the sentences with the correct tense form of the verbs in brackets.

I (get) up at 7am every morning but this morning I (sleep) for a long time

The correct answer is '2' i.e. get/slept .

Key Points

• The sentence contains two clauses: a habitual action in the first clause and a specific action in the past in the second clause.
• The verb "get" is in the **present simple tense** because it describes a regular, habitual activity: "I get up at 7am every morning."
• The verb "sleep" is in the **past simple tense** because it describes a one-time action that occurred in the past: "this morning I slept for a long time."
• The correct form of the verbs should match these tense requirements.

Correct sentence: I get up at 7am every morning, but this morning I slept for a long time.
