For verbs ending in "y",

以 "y" 結尾的動詞，

first, "y" changes into "i",

首先，將 "y" 變成 "i"

and then we add "e" and "d" in the end.

並在最後面加上"ed"

Remember when the verb ends in consonants, plus vowel, plus consonant,

記得當動詞結尾是「子音+母音+子音」

we double the last consonant,

我們重複最後一個子音

and then we add "ed" in the end.

並在最後面加上 "ed"

For example,

例如

stop, stopped.

stop 變成 stopped

The car stopped.

If the last letter is "x",

如果最後一個字母是 "x"

we don't double the consonant!

不用重複子音！

For example,

例如

fax 變成 faxed

When the verb end in a vowel, plus "y",

當動詞結尾是「母音+ "y"」

"y" does not turn into "i".

"y" 不會變成 "i"

We simply add "ed" in the end.
