Write the past tense form of the verb in brackets.

 

So she (be) considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day (make) her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes (run) close by her. There (be) nothing so VERY remarkable in that; nor (do) Alice think it so VERY much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself, ‘Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!’ (when she (think) it over afterwards, it (occur) to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all (seem) quite natural); but when the Rabbit actually (take) a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and (look) at it, and then (hurry) on, Alice (start) to her feet, for it (flash) across her mind that she (have) never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she (run) across the field after it, and fortunately (be) just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge.
            In another moment down (go) Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she (be) to get out again. The rabbit-hole (go) straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then (dip) suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice (have) not a moment to think about stopping herself before she (find) herself falling down a very deep well.
