-
Only -d

Only -ed
-
both -d or -ed
-
-ing
Correct Answer
A. Only -dExplanation
The correct answer is only -d. In English, the past tense of regular verbs is typically formed by adding -ed to the base form of the verb. However, there are some verbs that end in a silent -e, such as "love" or "live," where only -d is added to form the past tense. Therefore, the suffix -ed is not always used for forming the past tense of verbs, and in this case, only -d is the correct option.Rate this question:
