ENGLISH LANGUAGE

 

Rules for writing the past simple and the past participle of regular verbs 

1. In words with a short vowel sound and that end in a simple consonant, the consonant duplicates.

        Example: stop --> stopped; plan --> planned

2. In words that end in a consonant + "y", the "y" changes to "i". 

        Example: carry --> carried; hurry --> hurried

3. The "l" duplicates in British English (but not in American English) 

        Example: travel --> travelled (British), 

                        travel --> traveled (American)

1. -ed is pronounced ⁄ Id ⁄ after the sounds ⁄ t ⁄ and

⁄ d ⁄
