Study Notes

Formation of the Past Tense for Regular Verbs

Regular verbs form the past tense by adding specific endings to their base form.
If the verb ends in a vowel, add -d to form the past tense.
If the verb ends in a consonant, add -ed for the past tense formation.
For verbs ending in 'y,' replace the 'y' with an 'i' and then add -ed to create the past tense (e.g., "cry" becomes "cried").
