Hello all

I have an assignment to write about a current event and include 8 verbs in the past tense. I chose to do the dioxin incident. Any help is appreciated in editing my piece
El presidente de Ucrania ____________ los elecciones Yushchenko ________ muchos votos de la población. Otros personas __________ el presidente con dioxin. En realidad, Yushchenko ________ êl sopa cuando cuándo él llegó a ser enfermo.

La cara de Yushchenko _________ muy feo. Él ___________ todo el día para recuperar. Los médicos ___________ la medicina. Los ciudadanos _____ cuándo Yushchenko ganó la elección .

verbs include: ganar, recibir, envenenado, comer | ir, dormir, administre, aplaudido

Thanks a lot!

1) not all of the "verbs" you lsited are in fact verbs. (they have verb forms, but that's not my point).
2) last time i checked, if you're just using preterite tense, any textbook will have a chart telling you exactly how to conjugate the verbs (none of those are irregular, so its prettty simple.)

fill in those blanks, then ask for help editing.
 
does that parragraph was given to you by your teacher? it has already many errors

No, lo escribio.

Le dije que necesita completarlo si quisiera nuestra ayuda, porque no puedo comprender lo que quiere decir exactamente.
 
El presidente de Ucrania _ganó_los elecciones Yushchenko _recibió_ muchos votos de la población. Otros personas __envenenaron__ el presidente con dioxin. En realidad, Yushchenko __comió_ êl sopa cuando cuándo él llegó a ser enfermo.

La cara de Yushchenko __fue_ muy feo. Él __durmió_ todo el día para recuperar. Los médicos _administraban_ la medicina. Los ciudadanos _aplaudieron_ cuándo Yushchenko ganó la elección .
