The forms of the Past Indefinite Tense:

The form of the Past Indefinite Tense is made up with the help of the second form of the verb.

Spelling Rules of Past Form of Regular Verbs:

1. PAT + ED = PATTED

(we double the letter “t” to preserve the closed syllable, otherwise the word would have a different variant of pronunciation from that of the infinitive )

OPEN + ED = OPENED

2. STUDY + ED = STUDIED

In such verbs as to study, where Yis the last letter, the letter Y is replaced by I

3. CLOSE + ED = CLOSED

So I clean my room, sweep the floor, dust the furniture, water the flowers, collect the dirty linen and take it to the laundry, which is situated just round the corner. I am a hardworking and brisk person, and I can do everything in no time, that is why I even have some time to read a book before I start for school.
