Question

Помогите,пожалуйста Выпишите все Глаголы-сказуемые из текста и определить их видовременные формы
When 18-year old Ryan Paterson read a story in his local newspaper about a teenage girl who couldn’t hear or speak, it gave him an idea. The girl used sign language, but she needed a human translator with her all the time.

Ryan designed a glove that could translate sign language into text. It used electronic sensors to read the hand movements of the person who was wearing it. Then it transmitted the data to a portable device that displayed the text on screen. The device only translated the alphabet, but a special program allowed the user to adapt hand movements. The user could give special meanings to certain hand movements.

Ryan built two prototypes using a leather golf glove. He tested it with students from the National Technical Institute for the Deaf.

Now, he has a patent on the device which means that he owns the idea. He’s thinking about starting his own company so can develop the design and market it.
