    The document provides rules for adding "-ed" to verbs to form the past tense in 3 sentences: 1) When a verb ends in "e", drop the "e" and add "-ed"; when it ends in a consonant-y that's preceded by a vowel, just add "-ed"; when it ends in y preceded by a consonant, change the y to i and add "-ed". 2) Verbs of one or two syllables ending in a vowel-y keep the y when adding "-ed". 3) One-syllable verbs ending in a single consonant preceded by a single vowel double the final consonant before adding "-ed".

    PAST TENSE – CORRECT SPELLING WHEN ADDING –ED

    1. When the verb ends in “e” – when adding “ed” we shall delete the final “e” of the
    verb.
    EX: to live = liv + ed = lived

    To live = live + ed = liveed

    2. When the verb ends in “y” and the verb has 1 or two syllables and a vowel exists in
    the front of “y”, the “y” will not change, and the “ed” wil be added after it.
    EX: to play = play + ed = played
    To enjoy = enjoy+ed = enjoyed

    3. When the verb ends in “y”, but in front of the “y” there is NOT a vowel, the “y”
    changes into “i” and after that you add “ed”.
    Ex: to study = studi + ed = studied
    To cry = cri + ed = cried

    4. When the verb is only 1 syllable long, and it is constructed on the scheme C-V-C
    (consonant – vowel - consonant), the last consonant will be doubled when you add
    “ed”
    EX: to stop = stop + ed = stopped
     To plan = plan + ed = planned
