Regular Verbs.pptx

Regular verbs in the simple past are formed by adding "-ed" to the base form of the verb. For verbs ending in "e", only "-d" is added. For verbs ending in a consonant plus "y", the "y" is changed to "i" and "-ed" is added. There are a few special cases for verbs ending in certain consonant patterns where the final consonant is doubled before adding "-ed". The document provides examples of regular past tense verb formations and discusses pronunciation of the "-ed" ending.

Regular Verbs Regular verbs in the simple past end in -ed. If the base form ends in -e, add only –d. If the base form ends in -y after a consonant, change the y to i and add -ed. The boy heard a hungry baby crying. She baked him a soft roti. He lived with his mother in India.
Regular Verbs If the verb ends in 'e' • add 'd' • e.g. dance, smile, like, practice • e.g. danced, smiled, liked, smoked, practiced If the verb ends in a consonant + 'y' • remove 'y' and add 'ied' • e.g. cry, marry, study, rely • e.g. cried, married, studied
Regular Verbs If the verb ends in one vowel + one consonant • double the consonant and add 'ed' to form the past tense. • e.g. stop, rub, hop, hug, drag • e.g. stopped, rubbed, banned • Note that we don't double the consonant if the verb ends in 'x'. e.g. fix -> fixed, mix -> mixed In all other cases, we add 'ed' to the verb to form the past tense. • e.g. want - wanted laugh - laughed train - trained stay – stayed • Be careful when the word ends in 'y': if the 'y' is preceded by a vowel then we do not replace the 'y' with 'i'(e.g. play - played, stay - stayed, annoy - annoyed, delay - delayed).
