‘ed’ at the end of a word
‘ed’ is added to the end of a verb when something happened in the past.
(Remember, some verbs are irregular and do not take ‘ed’ but change their form instead e.g. swim to swam or throw to threw.)
Add ‘ed’ to a verb when you can say “Yesterday I ... bumped... into my friend.”
! Caution when spelling
‘ed’ ending can sound like
/id/, /t/ or /d/
e.g.
/id/           /t/         /d/
