Question

The past tense of ‘Feel’ is ‘Feeled’
A) Yes
B) No

Answer 1

Hint: Past tense is a verb tense that expresses that any activity has happened or the state that already exists. For example- I went to the zoo. Here, ‘went’ is the past tense of ‘go’, which is expressing that this activity has already happened.

Complete answer:
Feel is a verb that is used to talk about any experience, emotion or sensation. For instance, they feel a lot of anxiety before an exam. Here anxiety is an emotion and the verb ‘feel’ is used to express this feeling.
The question is asking whether the past tense of a verb ‘Feel’ is ‘Feeled’ or not.

Option(A) yes- It is an incorrect answer. Undoubtedly, we often use -ed after a verb to convert it into past tense. But exceptional cases exist. For example - The past tense of ‘buy’ is ‘bought’.

Option(B) No- It is the correct answer. The past tense of ‘feel’ is ‘felt’.
For an instance- ‘I feel the breeze today’ is a simple present sentence. To convert this in a past sentence, we will use ‘felt’ not ‘feeled’. The simple past sentence is ‘I felt the breeze yesterday’

Thus the correct answer is option (B) because the past tense of ‘feel’ is ‘felt’.

Note: There are two types of verbs.
Regular verbs: In this, very often past tense ends with -ed.
Examples: Play-played, like-liked, cry-cried, stop-stopped.
Irregular verbs: In this, the past tense doesn’t end with-ed.
Examples: Hit-Held, Keep-kept,learn-learnt.
