Hey there!
Great question. The past tense of "check" is actually spelled as "checked." It's a bit of a tricky one because the present tense and past tense spelling are so similar!
For example, let's say you're at a restaurant and you want to make sure your meal is correct. You might say to your waiter, "Can you check my order, please?" In this case, "check" is in the present tense.
Now let's say the waiter comes back and tells you everything is correct. You might say to your friend, "I just checked my order and it's all good." In this case, "checked" is in the past tense.
So remember, even though the spelling is similar, the word "checked" is the proper past tense form of the word "check."
