Example (use at least 5 to 10 verbs in the past):
Juan Sebastián Elcano was a Spanish navigator, ship-owner and explorer of Basque origin. He was born in Getaria, part of the Crown of Castile, he completed the first circumnavigation of the Earth in the ship Victoria on the Magellan expedition to the Spice Islands. He received recognition for his achievement by Charles V of Spain with a coat of arms bearing a globe and the Latin motto Primus circumdedisti me (You were the first to circumnavigate me).
In Spain, historians wrote the first biographies about him in the second half of the 19th century, after three centuries of neglect.
Following his success, the king entrusted him with another large expedition to the Spice Islands, headed by the nobleman García Jofre de Loaisa, which was not completed. Elcano died in the Pacific Ocean during this venture.
