Hey there!

The past tense of "complain" is "complained". Similar to other verbs in English, "complain" follows the regular verb conjugation pattern in which the suffix "-ed" is added to the base form of the verb to form its past tense.

For example:

- Present tense: I complain about the weather.
- Past tense: Yesterday, I complained about the weather.

Easy, right?

Complaining is a natural and common human behavior, but remember to balance it with positive thinking and actions. Instead of just complaining about a problem, try to think of solutions or ways to improve the situation. This will not only benefit you but also those around you.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other language-related questions.
