Past+Tense+Verbs

==__Adding -ed to the end of a verb makes it past tense. It shows that something has already happened. However, we don't SAY -ed for all words. For example: rolled is actually pronounced rolld. Grabbed is pronounced as grabd. The way to figure out how to say the final -ed is to look at how the original word is pronounced:__==

**• We pronounce / id / after / d / and / t / sounds.**
Past tense verbs pronounced --t.

Past tense verbs pronounced -d.

Past tense verbs pronounced -id.

= = =__Some verbs do not obey the final -ed rule. We call these "**irregular verbs**." Irregular verbs may change according to the following patterns:__=


 * ===A change in vowel. Ex: blow --> blew.===
 * ===A change in vowel that causes spelling to change. Ex: shake --> shook.===
 * ===A change change in vowel plus ending /t/ or /d/. Ex: sleep --> slept.===
 * ===A change in vowel plus ending /t/ using "ough." Ex: buy --> bought.===
 * ===No change at all. Ex: shut --> shut.===
