Hey there! Happy to help. The past tense of "deal" is "dealt". So if you had to talk about a completed action in the past that involved dealing with something, you would say that you dealt with it.
For example, if you were negotiating a business deal yesterday, you could say today, "I dealt with the negotiations yesterday." Or, if you're telling a story about a past experience where you managed to handle a difficult situation, you could say, "I dealt with it the best way I could."
Using the past tense "dealt" lets your listener know that you're referring to something that happened in the past, and that it doesn't necessarily have any current relevance or significance. Hope that clears it up for you! Let me know if you have any more questions.
