Verbs 03 - Simple Past Forms of Verbs
In the previous quizzes on verbs we have seen that verbs are of different types and follow classifications. Among the different types and classifications of verbs, REGULAR and IRREGULAR verbs play an important role in sentence formation. We have also seen how verbs change when the singular or plural form is used or the tense changes. This quiz looks at the simple past forms of verbs.
Most verbs have two past forms, namely SIMPLE PAST and PAST PARTICIPLE. For instance, the verb JUMP can be changed to its simple past form by adding ED. Thus the simple past form of JUMP is JUMPED. If a verb ends in E, then only D is added (LIVE becomes LIVED for example) and verbs which end in Y can be changed by adding IED (CRY becomes CRIED after removing the last letter Y and adding IED).
