Hey there!

The answers to your questions are as follows:

1.) "was" - the forms of "to be" are as follows: "am", "are", "is", "was", "were", "be", "being", "been"; "was" makes the most sense in this sentence.

2.) "heard" - "went" represents past tense, and the past tense of "hear" is "heard".

3.) "lived" - "for a year" is in past tense, and the past tense of "live" is "lived".

4.) "wore" - the sentence is is past tense, and "wore" is past tense of "wear"

5.) "have been" - "been" is what is the best for this sentence, and we need another verb, being "have", for it to make sense.

6.) "burnt" - the sentence is in past tense, and "burnt" is past tense for "burn".

7.) "recommended" - the sentence is in past tense, and "recommended" is past tense for "recommend"

8.) "heard" - the sentence is in past tense, and "heard" is past tense for "hear".

Hope it helps!!! Have a great day!!!! You've got this!!!
