The past tense of the word "rid" is simply "rid". Just like you'd say, "I rid my house of pests", you could say, "Yesterday, I rid my garden of weeds". English can be tricky like that, with some verbs not changing in the past tense. Just imagine it as a chameleon, blending in with its past and present surroundings. Just like memorizing a song you love, frequent usage will help you remember better. Now, isn't language fascinating?
