The past tense of the word "sit" is "sat". In English, regular verbs form the past tense by adding -ed to the base form. However, "sit" is an irregular verb which doesn't follow this rule. Instead, it changes to "sat". So if you are talking about an event that occurred in the past where someone was in a seated position, you would use "sat", not "sitted" which is a common mistake. Just like how you wouldn't say "runned" but would say "ran", another example of an irregular verb. Isn't English fun?
