Absolutely, the past tense of 'burst' remains 'burst'. Much like a balloon popping suddenly, its past tense isn't what you'd expect! πThis is because 'burst' is what we call an irregular verb. These verbs, in traditional grammar, are those that don't end in '-ed' in the past simple tense or past participle. They follow their own rules, just like mavericks! Other examples include 'read', 'put', and 'shut'. Isn't language full of surprises? π
