I think I underlined the verbs right, but I am so insecure about the forms or tenses used, I'm not sure what they mean. But any help will help.

With due respect,
'never' in a) is not a verb, nor is 'already' in c). Wrong words (not verbs) are underlined in d), g), h), i) and g). By contrast, you've missed verbs in b), c), d), f) and i).

I think ​I underlined the verbs [STRIKE]right[/STRIKE] correctly but I am [STRIKE]so[/STRIKE] very insecure about the form or tense used. [STRIKE]im[/STRIKE] I'm not sure what they mean but any help will help.

Please see my corrections above. Always capitalise the word "I" (first person singular) and remember to end every sentence with a single, appropriate punctuation mark.
