What do you if your teacher gave a study sheet saying the infinitive and past participle of all these but there are no verbs?

This is a bit of a tricky situation! It sounds like your teacher is trying to get you to think critically about verbs and their forms. Here's how you can approach it:

1. Ask for clarification: The best thing to do is to politely ask your teacher for clarification. You could say something like:

* "I noticed the study sheet has the infinitive and past participle forms, but there are no verbs listed. Could you please explain what we're supposed to do with this?"

* "Is this a test of our knowledge of verb forms? Should we be coming up with our own verbs to fill in the chart?"

2. Use your knowledge: If your teacher doesn't provide further guidance, you can use your knowledge of verbs to complete the sheet. Think about the following:

* Regular verbs: Most verbs follow predictable patterns for their infinitive and past participle forms (e.g., walk - walked - walked).

* Irregular verbs: There are some verbs that have irregular past participle forms (e.g., eat - ate - eaten). You'll need to memorize these.

3. Create your own verbs: You could choose some verbs from your class material or from your own vocabulary.

4. Use a verb list: If you're struggling to come up with verbs, you can look up a list of common verbs.

Example:

Let's say you have a blank study sheet with the headings "Infinitive" and "Past Participle." You could:

* Fill in the sheet with common regular verbs like "play," "jump," "sing," etc.

* Fill in the sheet with irregular verbs like "go," "see," "eat," etc.

* Create your own verbs like "scribble," "whisper," "explore," etc.

Remember: The goal is to practice understanding verb forms. Don't be afraid to be creative and think critically about the task.
