- Thêm “S” vào động từ tận cùng là CH, O, S, SH, X, Z:
Ví dụ: watch  watches, go  goes, miss  misses, …
- Những động từ có tận cùng là “Y,” thì phải đổi “Y” thành “I” rồi thêm “ES”:
Vd: study  studies, fly  flies, … NHƯNG: PLAY  PLAYS

cooks /s/ ; stops / s/
Mẹo ♥ : 'thời phong kiến phương tây"

cuối cùng, thì hãy gấp đôi vần cuối cùng rồi hãy thêm ed:

* Đối với động từ bất quy tắc: động từ quá khứ được chia ở cột 2 trong bảng động từ bất quy tắc
