Hanuman_2000Hello,

Last Monday __________ (is /was) Somali’s ( a girl) birthday. Her uncle _________

(want /wanted) to give her a doll . But Somali’s father said, ‘I

___________ (brought /have brought) a doll already.’ So her uncle

______ (give /gave) a cycle.

Sonali said, ‘I can _______________ ( riding /ride) my cycle down the street.
*1 Her friend Renu _______________ ( lived / lives) in the same street. *2 So she
___________________ ( goes / went) there to show her cycle. Renu was

not there. Her mother said , “She _______________ (went / has gone ) to her

aunt’s house.’'

My selections are bold letter.

I have two doubts marked with *. I wanted to use "lives" in *1 and "goes" in *2.

They are correct as you have them. In *1, the present would be o.k. if she still lives in the same street.
