Hi Linda,
I was asked about this question and I answered it with lot of typos. My letters on the computer screen are so small that I can't see them only when I read out the text I notice the typos. But it is late because I sended the message.
I use the occasion and I write the sentence correctly.
We have to use past simple because of last week:

Kathy learned how to change the oil in her car last weekend.

Thanks:
Kati

Hi Linda,

You don't be confused with my question, because I was asked to do what you see above.
Sometimes when we replied the question of the test and we want to see the teacher's explanation we couldn't't see it, till we don't fill in a blank on it there are an ask that I have to write my regards about my solution and the grammar what we used when we fill it. After we are accepted or corrected. Who is asked

Probably you wasn't aware of it and that's why didn't understand what I want.Who was asked his/her picter appears in left-above corner.
I hope my explanation was clear.
