Question

magical homework
i (present simple) think that my homework is cursed. every time i (present continuous) do it, the pages start to glow and whisper my name!
yesterday, my teacher (past simple) took the paper, and it (past continuous) was turning into a frog. she screamed, i (past simple) grabbed my backpack, and the frog (past simple) jumped out the window.
since then, i (present perfect) have tried to break the spell three times, but nothing works. by the time i called a wizard, the frog (past perfect) had moved into the library and started doing everyones homework.
now, i (present simple) guess everyone thinks im a genius because my homework (present continuous) does itself every night.
still, i (present perfect) have noticed strange things happen — my pencil sings, my backpack glows, and my books talk back. while i (past continuous) was trying to study last night, my math book (past simple) talked to me about its feelings.
i (present simple) guess ill just say, \my homework really did run away,\ and hope my teacher (present perfect) has heard that excuse before.

Explanation:

This is a grammar - filling exercise focusing on different verb tenses. We use the correct verb forms based on the given tenses (present simple, present continuous, past simple, past continuous, present perfect, past perfect). For example, in present simple we use the base form of the verb (except for third - person singular), in present continuous we use 'be + verb - ing', in past simple we use the past form of the verb, etc.

Answer:

Yesterday, my teacher (past simple) collected the paper, and it (past continuous) was turning into a frog. She screamed, I (past simple) grabbed my backpack, and the frog (past simple) jumped out the window.
Since then, I (present perfect) have tried to break the spell three times, but nothing works. By the time I called a wizard, the frog (past perfect) had moved into the library and started doing everyone’s homework.
Now, I (present simple) guess everyone thinks I’m a genius because my homework (present continuous) is doing itself every night.
Still, I (present perfect) have noticed strange things happen — my pencil sings, my backpack glows, and my books talk back. While I (past continuous) was trying to study last night, my math book (past simple) talked to me about its feelings.
I (present simple) suppose I’ll just say, “My homework really did run away,” and hope my teacher (present perfect) hasn’t heard that excuse before.
