Take a look at the sentence again:
Jim would have driven faster if his mother
had took her own car to the mall. Instead,
she rode with him, criticizing his every
decision and shrieking hysterically whenever he ran a yellow light.
The second verb, had took, is the problem. This verb requires the past participle because of the helping verb had. Had taken is the correct form.
| Verb | Simple Present | Simple Past | Past Participle |
| take | take(s) | took | taken |
Rode, the verb you chose, is perfectly correct. Before you continue, review the rules for irregular verbs.
