The past tense of "announce" is "announced." You see, in English, when we want to talk about something that happened in the past, we often change the verb form. Just like how a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly, verbs transform into different shapes to fit different tenses.
When we look at the word "announce," we can see that it's in the present tense, indicating something that is happening right now. But if we want to talk about something that already happened, we need to change it to the past tense. So we add that "-ed" at the end, turning "announce" into "announced."
It's like the verb is putting on a different outfit to match the past. Think of it as a verb wardrobe with different options for different situations. When it's time to talk about the past, the verb "announce" goes into the closet and brings out its "announced" form.
Just remember, when talking about something that happened before, say "announced." And if you want to go even further back, into the really distant past, you can say "had announced." Now, wasn't that an announcement worth remembering? If you have any more language questions, feel free to ask! What other verbs would you like to know the past tense of?
