What would be an antisymmetric bilinear form on $\mathbb{R^{4}}$ that cannot be written as a wedge product of two covectors? Also, what would be a $4\times4$ skew-symmetric matrix of rank $4$? Finally, how would I show that every antisymmetric bilinear form on $\mathbb{R^{4}}$ can be written as a finite linear combination of wedge products of covectors?

Any help would be appreciated, I'm really not sure how to start. Thank you!

For the matrix, how about $$\pmatrix{0&1&0&0\\-1&0&0&0\\0&0&0&1\\0&0&-1&0}?$$
