Note: Rules to change in past form
- To most verbs, add ed. As an example: employ - employed
- If the last letter of a short verb is a consonant-vowel-consonant, double the last letter and then add ed in the end. As an example: stop - stopped, top - topped.
- In longer words, if the verb's last syllable is stressed and ends with a consonant-vowel-consonant, double the last consonant and then add ed. For example, prefer - preferred
- If the first syllable is stressed, however, do not double the last letter. For example, enter is entered.
- Simply add d if the verb ends in an e. As an example, live - lived; save - saved.
