Worked Solution

Step 1: 'Last weekend' signals that visiting and making dumplings are completed past events — use simple past: 'visited' and 'made'. Step 2: 'She always tells' describes the grandmother's habitual routine — 'always' signals simple present. Use 'tells' (singular subject 'she' + '-s'). Step 3: Three verbs, two different tenses, each anchored to its own time signal. Answer: visited / made / tells

Correct answer: visited / made / tells
