Adding -ED

Adding -ed to a verb changes a present tense verb into a past tense verb. Here are a few examples: 


	PRESENT			PAST
	  walk			walked
	  jump			jumped
	  fuss			fussed
	  play			played
	  stroll		strolled
	  entertain		entertained
For many verbs adding -ed is as easy as just adding -ed to the end of the word as is the case for the examples shown above. Here are a few of these words used in sentences: 

	The clown entertained the children at the party.

	We strolled through the park yesterday afternoon.

	They walked around the block seven times.
