Great question! The past tense of the word "answer" is "answered". When we talk about the past tense, we're referring to an action or a state that happened or existed in the past. So, if someone asked me a question yesterday, I would have answered them.
In English, we often form the past tense by adding "-ed" to the base form of a verb. This applies to regular verbs like "answer". However, it's important to note that not all verbs follow this pattern. There are irregular verbs that have different forms in the past tense, like "go" (went) or "eat" (ate).
Understanding verb tenses is vital in expressing the correct timing of actions and events in English. They help us to make clear distinctions between what is happening now, what happened in the past, and what will happen in the future.
Remember, learning a language is like embarking on an exciting journey. So, embrace the adventure and don't be afraid to ask more questions along the way! 😉
