The past tense of the word "prevent" is "prevented." When we want to talk about an action that occurred in the past, we simply add -ed to the base form of the verb. It's like transforming the verb into the past form, like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon. So, if you want to say that someone stopped something from happening in the past, you would say they "prevented" it. For example, "She prevented the accident from happening by acting quickly." Remember to use "prevented" when you talk about actions that already took place in the past. It's all about the power of language to bring clarity to our stories and experiences!
