The past tense form of the word "beat" is "beat." That's right, it's the same word! In English, we have irregular verbs that don't follow the usual pattern of adding "-ed" to form the past tense. Instead, they change their form entirely or remain the same. "Beat" is one of those irregular verbs that stays the same in both the present and past tense. So whether you say "I beat the drum yesterday" or "I beat the drum today," you're using the same word. Isn't language fascinating? Now, there are many other irregular verbs out there, and each one has its own unique past tense form. If you're curious about them, just let me know, and I'll be happy to guide you through more of these quirks of the English language!
