The past tense of 'shear' is 'sheared'. When you think about the way the word transforms, imagine a shepherd shearing wool from a fluffy sheep. Yesterday, he 'sheared' wool, changing the sheep from a fluffy cloud into a smooth runner! Today, it's bounding around, free from its wooly weight, all because it got 'sheared'. Language has a neat way of adapting to time, doesn't it?
