You're on the wrong track. There are two verbs, and neither of them is past.

According to the task, there are two ways to structure the example sentence, and your job is to figure out why 2. is considered the 'corrected version'.

1. You (subject, implied) write down (verb) what the mistake is (object, clause)
2. You (subject, implied) write down (verb) the mistake (object, noun)

Good luck.
