When a verb ends in -y preceded by a consonant, change the -y to -i to form the past tense. For example, the past tense of "cry" would be "cried", not "cryed". Some irregular past tense verbs are formed by adding -ed, -d, or changing the vowel sound before adding -d or -ed depending on the verb. For regular verbs, simply add -ed to form the past tense. Provide the past tense form of sample verbs like play, watch, wash, etc. in exercises to practice forming the past tense of verbs.Spelling words lesson 12
