Past Tense of Regular Verbs
- The past tense of a verb shows events that happened in the past. Words like "yesterday", "last week", and "last night" indicate past events.
- Regular verbs form their past tense by adding "-d" or "-ed" to the base form.
Rules for Forming the Past Tense
- Rule A: Most action verbs ending in a consonant are made past tense by adding "-ed."
- Examples: pick - picked, watch - watched, crawl - crawled, walk - walked, call - called, attend - attended, join - joined, sign - signed
- Rule B: Verbs ending in "-e" only require the addition of "-d".
- Examples: celebrate - celebrated, place - placed, dance - danced, bake - baked, erase - erased, like - liked, raise - raised, wave - waved
- Rule C: If a verb ends with a consonant followed by "-y", change the "-y" to "-i" and add "-ed".
- Examples: cry - cried, carry - carried, bury - buried, study - studied, hurry - hurried, dry - dried
