Review the item:
Because Jonathon had forgotten
to bring his wallet to school, he buyed a bag
of corn chips instead of the Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes, the lunch
special that caught his eye.
The second verb, buyed, is incorrect. The sentence requires the simple past of buy, an irregular verb; the correct form is bought. Buyed is a spelling error.

Caught, the verb you chose, is perfectly correct. Before you continue, review the rules for irregular verbs.
