The sentence requires the past tense of spend, an irregular verb. Spent is the simple past form.
| Verb | Simple Present | Simple Past | Past Participle |
| spend | spend(s) | spent | spent |
Spend, the form you chose, is present tense; it doesn't fit the timeframe of the sentence. Before you continue, review the rules for irregular verbs.
