Complete the college student's highly suspicious excuse email to their professor.
Dear Professor, I truly _________________________ to finish my essay on Saturday morning. However, my roommate _________________________ a brand new video game. We _________________________ it for fourteen hours straight without blinking. By Sunday, my brain _________________________ on vacation, so I couldn't write a single word of the assignment.

wanted

Use the regular past tense "-ed" for completed states or desires in the past.

got

The past simple of the irregular verb "get" is "got."

played

"Play" is a regular verb, so we add "-ed" to show the action happened in the past.

went

"Went" is the irregular past tense of "go." We never say "goed"!
