Here is the sentence:
Danielle hated to see her brother Tim walk into the diner where she worked.
He always brought his obnoxious friends,
payed for his meal with pennies, and then
left huge puddles of ketchup at his table.
The second verb, payed, is incorrect. As you know, this sentence requires the simple past. Pay is an irregular verb; paid is the correctly spelled form.
| Verb | Simple Present | Simple Past | Past Participle |
| pay | pay(s) | paid | paid |
