Unit 6 - SIMPLE PAST
All regular verbs in English form their past tense by adding ed to the simple
(infinitive) form. These spelling changes should be noted: (a) if the verbs end in
e, only d is added (Examples: change, changed; chase, chased) (b) if the verbs
end in y, preceded by a consonant, the y is changed to i before adding ed
(Examples: study, studied; marry, married). (c) a few verbs double the final
consonant* before adding ed (Examples: refer, referred; plan, planned ).
Write the past tense form of each of these regular verbs in the blanks at the
right.
1. describe
2. force
3. study
4. indicate
5. need

* The rule for the doubling of final consonants in English is as follows: Any words
of more than one syllable accented on the final syllable, or any words of one
syllable ending in a consonant, preceded by a single vowel, double this
consonant before a suffix beginning with a vowel. This rule sounds somewhat
complicated, but it has no exception and is a very useful rule to know in English.
(Ex: plan, planning, planned, etc.)
