A
past-tense
verb
tells about actions that
happened in the past. Add ed or d to most
present-tense verbs to make them show past tense. You may have to
drop an e, double a consonant, or change a y to an i. |

Examples:
Long ago
Iroquois hunted animals to survive.
These hunters supplied food for many people within the
tribe.

already taken place.
