The Past-Tense Ending –ed

Most verbs can be changed from the present to the past tense by adding

the suffix –ed.

I start I started

I want I wanted

I need I

I point I

I paint I

I plant I

Sometimes the –ed suffix is sounded /e/ + /d/, as it is in the words you just

made. But sometimes it is sounded /d/.

I call I called

I open I opened

I follow I

I show I

I seem I

I yell I
