Okay, let's complete Josh's summer writing project by filling in the past simple forms of the verbs. Here's the completed text with the past simple forms:
This summer we **had** (have) a family holiday in Cornwall. We **stayed** (stay) with my cousins in a hostel near the beach. The weather was always great there.
Now let's identify the regular verbs used:
* **had** - Irregular
* **stayed** - Regular
There is only one regular verb in the given text, so it doesn't match the question which asks for three verbs. Assuming there is a typo and the original text has more verbs, here is an example.
Let’s imagine Josh wrote “This summer we had (have) a family holiday in Cornwall. We stayed (stay) with my cousins in a hostel near the beach. The weather **looked** (look) great there and we **played** (play) a lot. We **talked** (talk) to our cousins all the time.
Based on this imaginary full text, the regular verbs would be:
* **stayed** (stay)
* **looked** (look)
* **played** (play)
* **talked** (talk)
**Explanation:**
The past simple form of 'have' is 'had' (irregular). The past simple form of 'stay' is 'stayed'. Other imaginary regular verbs 'looked', 'played', 'talked' form their past tense by adding '-ed' to the base verb.
