- 6. From Present to Past There are five ways to change a verb from present tense to past tense. 1. Just add –ed. 2. Double the final consonant and add –ed. 3. Drop the final e and add –ed. 4. Change the y to i and add –ed. 5. Change the spelling. We did this when we changed a singular noun to a plural noun and with verb agreement too.
- 7. Just add -ed Most verbs can change from the present to the past by just adding –ed. Today I walk home. Yesterday I walked home. Did it rain today? It rained yesterday.
- 8. Doubling the Final Consonant When a present tense verb ends with one vowel and one consonant, double the final consonant and add –ed to make the verb change to past tense. Drop the ball. He dropped the ball. Hop on one foot. She hopped on one foot.
- 9. Dropping the Final e When a present tense verb ends with a sneaky/silent e, drop the e and add –ed to make the verb change to past tense. Skate with me. We skated together at the rink. I like to shop. I liked shopping with you.
- 10. Changing y to i When a present tense verb ends with a y, change the y to i and add –ed to make the verb change to past tense. Will you help me carry the groceries? We carried them to the kitchen. Eric asked me to marry him on New Year’s Day. We got married on August 2, 1997.
- 11. Changing the Spelling Sometimes a present tense verb changes its entire spelling to make the verb change to past tense. If it helps say, “Yesterday I ______,” to help find the right word to use in the past tense. We eat lunch at 11:30. We ate lunch at 11:30 yesterday. Stand straight in line. We stood straight in line.
