Answer 1

To complete the sentences using the verb "to take" in the correct forms, we need to conjugate the verb based on the subject and tense of each sentence. Here are the correct forms:

1. It usually takes me 20 minutes to get to my office by bus. 2. Yesterday it took him half an hour to get to the station by taxi. 3. It often takes her an hour to get to the park on foot. 4. Last year it took them two hours to get to London by plane.

In the first sentence, the subject "it" is singular, so we use the third-person singular form "takes" with "it."

In the second sentence, the subject "it" refers to the past, so we use the past tense form "took" with "it."

In the third sentence, the subject "it" is singular, so we use the third-person singular form "takes" with "it."

In the fourth sentence, the subject "it" refers to the past, so we use the past tense form "took" with "it."

By using the appropriate forms of the verb "to take," we ensure that the sentences are grammatically correct and convey the intended meaning.
