Question

2. What common English verb becomes its own past tense by rearranging its letters?

Answer 1

Eat
Past tense : ate

Answer 2

The common English verb that becomes its own past tense by rearranging its letters is "read." When you rearrange the letters, it forms the past tense "read." This is an example of a verb that is irregular in its conjugation, as most verbs add "-ed" to form the past tense. However, "read" changes its spelling entirely to indicate the past tense.
