3. "Purchased" is past tense, so "tore" (past of "tear") is right.
4. The context implies past action, so "swam" (past of "swim") is appropriate.
5. The action is in the past, so "stole" (past of "steal") is used.
6. The action is in the past, so "rode" (past of "ride") is correct.

For the second part:

1. The action is in the past, so "broke" (past of "break") is used.
2. The action is in the past, so "fell" (past of "fall") is correct.
3. The action is in the past, so "felt" (past of "feel") is right.
4. The action is in the past, so "fought" (past of "fight") is used.
