Add -ed to each of these words:

1. nod______

2. hop______

3. clap______

4. drip______

5. sip______

6. dip______

Answer :

To form the past tense, add -ed to the end of each verb, doubling the final consonant for short vowel sounds: nodded, hopped, clapped, dripped, sipped, dipped.

When ed is added at the end of a word we form the past tense of that word that will be done in the following manner

  1. Nod: nodded (Add -ed directly)
  2. Hop: hopped (Double the final consonant before adding -ed)
  3. Clap: clapped (Double the final consonant before adding -ed)
  4. Drip: dripped (Double the final consonant before adding -ed)
  5. Sip: sipped (Double the final consonant before adding -ed)
  6. Dip: dipped (Double the final consonant before adding -ed)

By understanding the rules of doubling the final consonant for short vowel sounds, you can accurately form the past tense for these verbs.
