 Grammatical Rules
Form:
To form the past simple with Want Wanted
regular verbs, we use the infinitive Learn Learned
and add the ending "-ed". The Stay Stayed
shape is the same for all people (I,
Walk Walked
you, he, she, it, we, they).

EXCEPTIONS: WITH VERBS ENDING IN A
CONSONANT AND A “Y”, THE “Y” IS

IF THE VERB ENDS IN A SHORT

VOWEL AND A CONSONANT (EXCEPT
"Y" OR "W"), WE DOUBLE THE FINAL
