Time expressions that refer to the past (last week, in 1980, in the twentieth century, fifty years ago, etc.).

In words of two or more syllables (trong những từ có 2 âm tiết hoặc hơn) that end in a consonant-vowel-
consonant combination, double the last consonant only if the last syllable is stressed.
e.g. prefer preferred , visit visited
If the verb ends in a consonant + y, change the y to i and add -ed. If the verb ends in a vowel + y, add -ed.
(Do not change the y to i.)
e.g. worry worried, annoy annoyed
The final sound is pronounced /id/ after /t/ and /d/. /id/ adds a syllable to the verb.
e.g. start stаrted. deсide deсided
PAST CONTINUOUS
