Respuesta :

Answer:

- ied: cry, enjoy, bury, marry

-ed only: label, wait, stay, explain, fail, prefer

- d only: care, like, agree, use

double consonant +- ed : stop, jog, clap, hop

Explanation:

We form regular Past Simple verb forms by adding the termination -ed to the infinitive of the verb.

e.g. wait, stay, explain

However, there are some exceptions, as the result of the spelling rules.

If the verb ends in -e, we will add the termination -d:

e.g. care, like, use

If the verb ends in a vowel and a consonant, we double the consonant before -ed:

eg. stop, clap, hop

If the verb ends in consonant and -y, we take off the y and add -ied.

e.g.  cry, enjoy, marry

The regular verbs provided can be placed in the correct categories in the following manner:

  • -ed only: enjoy; stay; explain; fail; wait;  label.
  • -ied: cry; bury; marry.
  • -d only: care; like; agree; use;
  • double consonant + -ed: stop; jog; clap; hop; prefer.

The simple past form of regular verbs

In English, regular verbs are the ones that follow certain rules when changed into their simple past and past participle forms. Most verbs will simply have -ed added to their endings. Verbs that already end in -e have only -d added to their endings.

Verbs that end in consonant +y should have the -y dropped and -ied added. However, if a vowel precedes the -y, we should not drop it. Only --ed should be added.

Finally, if a verb ends in consonant + vowel + consonant, we must double the final consonant before adding -ed.

With the information above in mind, we can see that the answer given above is correct.
