Hello! Thank you for reaching out with your question about the past tense of "sweep." The past tense of "sweep" is "swept."
Now, let's explore this concept a bit more. When we talk about verb tenses, we are actually referring to the different forms that a verb can take to express different times. In English, we have several tenses, including the past tense, present tense, and future tense.
The past tense is used to describe actions or events that have already happened. For example, if I say "I swept the floor," I am talking about an action that I completed in the past. The past tense of "sweep" is formed by adding "-ed" to the base verb, which is "sweep."
However, it's important to note that there are some irregular verbs in English, meaning that they don't follow the typical "-ed" pattern for forming the past tense. "Sweep" is an irregular verb, so instead of "sweeped," we say "swept" to indicate that the action happened in the past.
I hope this explanation helps! Let me know if you have any further questions or if there's anything else I can help you with.
