The past tense of "sniff" is "sniffed." When we use the past tense, it indicates that the action of sniffing has already happened in the past. Just like a curious puppy exploring new scents, when we say "sniffed," we're referring to the moment when someone took a whiff of something with their nose.
It's fascinating how verbs can transform in different tenses to tell us about different times. When we add "-ed" to "sniff," we're letting others know that the sniffing took place before now. Imagine you are walking in a beautiful garden and you sniffed a fragrant flower yesterday. The action is completed, and you'd say, "Yesterday, I sniffed a lovely flower."
The English language is full of these linguistic twists and turns that color our conversations. So, whether you're talking about things that happened in the past, present, or even the future, knowing the different tenses of verbs helps us express ourselves more clearly. 🌸🐾
