The past tense of "overcome" is "overcame". This verb is a great example of an irregular verb in English. Regular verbs follow a pattern - add 'd' or 'ed' to form the past tense, like "walk" becomes "walked". But irregular verbs like "overcome" don't follow this rule. Instead, their past forms must be memorized individually. Isn't language fascinating in its unpredictability? Can I help with any other past tense forms?
