$\color{coral}{❍ Important rules for forming Past Tense}$

You usually form the Simple Past Tense by adding $\color{hotpink}{ed}$ to the verb.

E.g. cross + $\color{hotpink}{ed}$ => Crossed

Jump+$\color{hotpink}{ed}$=>Jumped

Walk + $\color{hotpink}{ed}$=> Walked

If the verb ends with - e you just add $\color{purple}{d}$

E.g. Agree + $\color{purple}{d}$ => Agreed

Die + $\color{purple}{d}$=> Died

Hate + $\color{purple}{d}$=>Hated

You have to $\color{teal}{double the last letter verbs before you add}$ $\color{orchid}{ed}$

E.g. Drum + $\color{orchid}{ed}$ => Drummed

Nod + $\color{orchid}{ed}$ => Nodded

Pat + $\color{orchid}{ed}$ =>Patted

❍The above verbs are one syllable verb they end with a consonant and one vowel before the constant.

If the verb ends in $\color{teal}{y}$ , you change the $\color{crimson}{y to i}$ before adding $\color{teal}{y}$

E.g. Carry + $\color{teal}{i}$ + $\color{crimson}{ed}$=> Carried

Hurry + $\color{teal}{i}$ + $\color{crimson}{ed}$=> Hurried

Try + $\color{teal}{i}$ + $\color{crimson}{ed}$ => Tried

The simple past tense form some verbs does not end in - $\color{blue}{ed or - d}$ . Such verbs are called $\color{teal}{irregular. verbs }$

E.g. $\color{springgreen}{Sell - sold}$

$\color{springgreen}{Buy - Bought}$

❍The Simple Tense is changed into past tense by changing the vowel in the body of the Present Tense.

$\color{hotpink}{❥Answer}$

• The past tense refers to event that have happened in the past. The basic way to form the past tense in English is to take the present tense of the word and add the suffix -ed. For example, to turn the verb "walk" into the past tense, add -ed to form "walked."
