The word for 'upset' in the past tense is 'upset' itself. That's what makes the English language unique and fascinating - some verbs have the same form for both present and past tenses. We call these verbs "irregular verbs," and they can definitely add a twist to your language learning journey. While the majority of verbs follow the pattern of adding "-ed" to form the past tense, irregular verbs like 'upset' don't conform to this convention. It's like they have a secret identity, refusing to conform to the rules. So, instead of saying "upseted," we simply use 'upset' in both present and past tenses. It's one of those quirky quirks that English throws at us, but don't let it get you all upset. Embrace the nuances of irregular verbs, and soon you'll be fluent in navigating these linguistic waters. So, what other irregular verbs have you encountered in your language learning journey? 🤔
