We had driven about halfway when I realized that the brakes were so badly worn it was dangerous to keep going. We wanted to get up a game, but before we had chosen sides the bell rung and we had to go back to the school.

The word talk in that sentence is actually a noun. It is synonymous with conversation.

He swam as hard as he could against the current but it took him an hour to get to safety.

Good.

We had driven about halfway when I realized that the brakes were so badly worn it was dangerous to keep going.

The word worn there is an adjective describing the brakes.

• We wanted to get up a game, but before we had chosen sides the bell rang and we had to go back to the school.

After his fall, he shaked his head to clear it, then rose up and asked us what happened.

• After his fall, he shook his head to clear it, then rose up and asked us what happened.

(In that last sentence, I would probably say what had happened.)
