Complete the student's incredibly unbelievable excuse to the professor by choosing the appropriate verb for each gap.

I am so sorry I missed class! I left my house right on time, but I saw a lost penguin waiting at the bus stop. While I was taking a picture, a wizard stole my backpack!

"Left" is the irregular past simple form of "leave."

"Saw" is the irregular past simple form of "see." "Seen" is the past participle and requires a helping verb (like "have" or "had").

"Stole" is the irregular past simple form of "steal." "Stolen" is the past participle, and "stealed" is incorrect.
