Hello!

Great question! The past tense of "come" is "came."

Whenever we're talking about something that happened in the past, we use past tense verbs. For example, "Yesterday, I came home from work and made dinner." In this sentence, "came" is the past tense of "come."

Now, this might seem a bit confusing because "come" doesn't follow the typical pattern of turning into "-ed" when changing into the past tense. But some verbs, like "come," have irregular past tense forms, meaning they don't follow the typical pattern. So, in order to use these verbs correctly in the past tense, you just have to memorize their irregular forms.

I hope this explanation helps! If you have any other questions or need further clarification, don't hesitate to ask.
