4.

a- worked

b- didn't charge

c- wanted

d- Were - working

e- arrived - was

f- Were - helping - Wasn't

g- didn't lift

Explicação:

Quando nós usamos a forma negativa no passado, usamos didn't + o verbo sem conjugação, ok?

Se não tiver o didn't, ou seja, forma positiva no passado, aí conjugará o verbo. Ex: I arrived/ She came.
