Write the correct tense in the action verbs.

(to buy) My aunt _____ me a game for my birthday next month.
(to look) I ______ for my keys for two hours.
(to sleep) Jennifer _________ late today. She's still not up.
(to run) My friend and I ________ in a race this weekend.
Can you please answer with explanations? I just don't understand how to write each verb correctly.
Thanks for your answers!

Will buy, Looked/Searched, Slept, Ran

An action verb can express something that a person, animal or object can do. To determine if a word is an action verb, look at the sentence and ask yourself if the word is decribing something someone can do or something someone can be or feel. If it is something they can do, then it is an action verb. If its something they can be or feel, it is a non-action, or stative, verb.
