RULES FOR ADDING –ED:
Add –ed to most verbs Drop the “e” and add “ed” to verbs
that end with “e” (smile= smiled). Change the “y” to “i” and add –ed to
verbs that end with a consonant and “y” (carry= carried, study= studied).
Double the consonant and add –ed to verbs that end with one vowel and one consonant ( drag= dragged, stop= stopped).
