Hey there! The past tense for the word "hurt" is also "hurt". Just like "read" or "put", "hurt" is what we call an irregular verb. It doesn't follow the regular rules where you'd normally add -ed to form the past tense. Instead, it remains the same, whether you're saying it in the present like "I hurt my foot today", or in the past like "I hurt my foot yesterday". Keep in mind, this doesn't apply to every verb, it's just one of those English language quirks we all love... well, at least I do! It adds a bit of spice to language learning, wouldn't you say? You can conjure up more surprises by exploring more irregular verbs yourself! Happy learning! 📘
