Hey there! I'd be happy to help answer your question about the past tense of "bore."

The past tense of "bore" is "bored." So if you were to say, "Yesterday, I bore the weight of the world on my shoulders," you would switch to the past tense and say, "Yesterday, I was bored with the weight of the world on my shoulders."

An easy way to remember this conjugation is to think of it as adding a "-d" to the base form of the verb. For example, the base form of "bore" ends in "-re," so you simply add a "-d" to form the past tense "bored."

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
