1 It was peaceful, and the birds were singing.
Explanation: The verb "sing" should be in the present participle form - "singing" - to match the subject "birds" in the plural form.

2 I was washing my hair when my phone rang.
Explanation: The verb "wash" should be in the continuous tense - "washing" - to indicate an ongoing action in the past. Additionally, "when" is used to indicate the specific time when the phone rang.

3 You did not come to the club last night.
Explanation: The verb "came" should be in the negative form - "did not come" - to indicate the absence of an action.

4 It took ages to get home.
Explanation: The past tense form of the verb "take" is "took." Additionally, "ages" indicates a long period of time.

5 We tried to keep quiet because the baby was sleeping.
Explanation: The verb "sleep" should be in the continuous tense - "was sleeping" - to indicate an ongoing action in the past.

Explanation: The verb "pass" should be in the past tense - "passed" - to indicate a completed action in the past.

9 Where did you buy that bag?
Explanation: The verb "buy" should be in the past tense - "did you buy" - to indicate a completed action in the past. Additionally, the auxiliary verb "did" is necessary to form the question in the past tense.

10 When I heard the alarm, I left the room immediately.
