Some verbs that end with -y after a consonant that are changed to the past tense by changing the -y to -i before adding -ed are:study - studiedhurry - hurriedmarry - marriedcarry - carriedvary - varied
-ed is added to form the past tense of regular verbs.For most past simple regular verbs, add -ed:climb - climbed. walk - walkedIf the verb ends in a consonant + y the y changes to i and add -ed.study - studied. cry - criedIf the verb ends in one vowel and one consonant, double the consonant and add -ed.trip - tripped step - steppedNB. Irregular verbs have a new word.
Such are called regular verbs because that is the way that most English verbs change to the past tense. ( Verbs that form their past tense in other ways are irregular). Oddly, many of the most commonly used verbs are irregular. Verbs that end in "y" change the "y" to "i" before adding the "ed", but they are still considered to be regular. As I said , most verbs are regular and form their past tense in the way. but some examples: love -- past loved like -- past like carry -- past carried cook -- past cooked clean -- past cleaned hurry - past hurried wash - past washed dress- past dressed ask- past asked wonder -- past wondered travel -- past traveled.
Yell
Yacht is a noun beginning with Y, yell is a verb, and young is an adjective.
It is not irregular, in that it adds the typical -ed to form the past tense and past participle. However, it follows the pattern of several verbs that end in Y, where the Y is changed to i before adding -ed.(Some verbs ending with vowel-Y, e.g. buoy and guy, do not change the Y. The verb pay may be considered irregular in that paid adds only a D after changing the Y.)
the past tense of fly is flew. I flew in an aeroplane to Australia.
PAST TENSEThe past tense of many verbs is formed by adding ed.Examples:remember + ed = rememberedclimb + ed = climbedIf a verb ends in e, drop e before adding ed.Examples:phone - phonedarrive - arrivedIf a verb ends in y, change the y to ibefore adding ed.Examples:carry - carriedtry - triedIf a verb ends in a short vowel followed by a single consonant, double the final consonant.Examples:trip- trippedpop - poppedPRESENT TENSEThe present tense verb tells what is happening right now. To form present-tense verbs, use the plain verbs or use isor are before the verb and adding ing to the verb.Examples:We eat. We are eating.He servers. He is serving.Note: However 'ing' is also used for present, past, and future progressive tense.Present Progressive: using am/is/are with verb form ending in -ing. Example: is examiningPast Progressive: using was/were with the verb form ending in -ing. Example: was examiningFuture Progressive: using will be or shall be with the verb form ending in -ing. Example: will be examining or shall be examinedFUTURE TENSEThe future tense verb tells about things that will happen in the future. To form the future-tense verb, use will/shallbefore the verb.Examples:We will be eating.Tomorrow we will walk to school.When you use will, you may also have to add a helping verb and the ending ing.Tomorrow we will be walking to school.
Applied. The general principle is that if a verb ends in y, the y is changed to i in the past participle.
