The word for regret in the past tense is "regretted." When we talk about regret in the past, we use the simple past tense to express that feeling of remorse or disappointment about something that happened or didn't happen. Imagine looking back at a decision you made and wishing you had chosen differently. You might say, "I regretted not pursuing that opportunity." The past tense form of regret helps us express our feelings of hindsight and reflection. Is there anything else you'd like to know about verb tenses or language in general?
