Fill in the blanks below with the correct form of the verb:
It was past midnight when Susie arrived at her apartment. She [not done] lit 1 a lemon candle and [not done] lay 2 down on the warm blanket on her bed. The day [not done] spun 3 through her mind like a roulette wheel. So many stupid men, so much silly talk. Tomorrow she would [not done] do 4 something different. She would [not done] wake 5 up singing and leave the house with a bag full of candy and a heart full of hope.

1 lit: Because the first sentence (it was past midnight) tells us that this action takes place in the past, we must use the past simple tense (preterit). To light: I light / I lit, lighted / I have lit, lighted. 'Lit' is more common than 'lighted' in the preterit and past participle forms.
2 lay: Because the first sentence (it was midnight) tells us that this action takes place in the past, we must use the past simple tense (preterit). To lie: I lie / I lay / I have lain. Be careful! Don't confuse 'lie' (as in lie down on a bed) with 'lie' (as in to tell a lie or untruth), which is a regular verb.
3 spun: Because the first sentence tells us that we are talking about the past, we must use the simple past tense. To spin: I spin / I spun / I have spun. 'To spin' means 'to rotate' in this context.
4 do: Because the main verb (to do) is preceded by the auxiliary 'would' here, we must use the infinitive form of the verb afterwards (without 'to'). Note that 'would' is used here to describe a future event in the past.
5 wake: Because the main verb (to wake) is preceded by 'would' here, we must use the simple infinitive form (wake) without the marker 'to'. Note that 'would' is used to express the conditional.

1 down: To 'fall down' means to drop or descend from a higher to lower position. Example: The farmer caught his foot on a rock and fell down the hill. Jean tells Kevin that he hurt himself whilst falling from the top of the stairs to the bottom. 'Down' is used here in one of its primary senses: descending from a higher location to a lower location.
2 up: To 'get up' from bed means to rise from it. Jean was disturbed whilst sleeping, and so he 'rose' or 'got out of his bed' to investigate the noise. In this expression, 'up' is used in one of its primary senses: to indicate vertical movement to an elevated position (other examples: stand up, rise up, sit up).
3 up: 'To be woken up' (from the active voice expression 'to wake up') means to be disturbed whilst sleeping, so that one 'awakens', or no longer sleeps. Jean was 'woken up' in the middle of the night by a noise in his house. In this expression, 'up' is used in one of its primary senses: to indicate vertical movement to an elevated position (other examples: stand up, rise up, sit up).

1 awake: If you are not sleeping (or asleep), you are awake. Example: If you are reading this, you are probably AWAKE!
2 wide awake: 'Wide awake' is a common idiom that means completely or fully awake. Example: I was WIDE AWAKE at 7am because my neighbor was using an electric drill. In the conversation, the woman at the reception desk asks, 'does that mean that you're awake?'; to which Philip replies, 'Yes, I'm wide awake!' - to emphasize the fact that he is completely awake!
3 wake-up: As we have seen in previous questions, a 'wake-up' or 'wake-up call' is when someone (often hotel reception) purposefully wakes you up (stops you sleeping) at a specified time.
4 wake: 'To wake someone (up)' means to stop someone (who is asleep) from sleeping; literally 'to make them awake'. Note: 'to wake' and 'to awake' are similar terms, but in modern English, 'to wake (up)' is used a lot more. Example: 'I WOKE my friend UP at 7am' is a lot more natural than 'I AWOKE my friend at 7am'. As a general rule, 'to awake' is intransitive. However, although it is possible to say, 'he awoke at 10am', it is more common to say 'he woke up at 10am'.
5 wakey: 'Wakey wakey' is a popular expression used when waking someone up. We often add the 'rise and shine' after it. Apparently, this is a reference to the sun (which rises in the morning and shines!). I love the sun!
