The past tense of the word 'offend' is 'offended'. Now, isn't language interesting? Just like a journey down a winding road, it has many surprises. The rules are there, yes, but sometimes are as quirky as salsa dancers in a library. Yet, we somehow find our bearings and keep moving. 'Offend' is a regular verb, and like most regular verbs, its past tense is formed by adding '-ed'. So, if you said something yesterday that was not well received, you 'offended' someone. Isn't it fascinating how just adding three little letters can time travel a word from the present into the past?
