10.

The verbs "repaired" and "collected" are in past - tense forms.

The present participle is "digging" and the helping verb is "was".

The word "it" is redundant. Use a delete mark to remove "it". Also, "Spring" should not be capitalized as it is a common noun in this context. Use a lowercase mark for "Spring".

Answer:

Underline "repaired" and "collected". Circle "past".
