Identify the incorrect sentence. a. aliesha kept the message a secret. b. my mother drove the new car today. c. the telephone rang a dozen times this morning. d. the bank lended my parents some money.

The incorrect sentence is D. The bank lended my parent some money.

Explanation:

The only wrong sentence among the given options is letter D. The verb "to lend" is an irregular verb. Its past form is "lent", and not "lended". Thus, it would be correct if we changed it:

- The bank lent my parents some money.

In English, regular verbs end with -d, -ed, or -ied in their past form. However, irregular verbs do not follow that rule and have each their own form to be respected when conjugated in the past.

Note: There is nothing wrong with sentence B. The past form of the verb "to drive" is indeed "drove". "To drive" is an irregular verb.

The same goes for sentences A and C. "Kept" is the past of "to keep", and "rang" is the past of "to ring".
