( ) Verbos regulares terminados em uma única vogal seguida de uma única consoante (CVC) dobram a consoante final antes do sufixo -ed se a última sílaba for tônica.

( ) A forma do passado dos verbos irregulares deve ser mantida em frases interrogativas iniciadas pelo auxiliar "did" para enfatizar a ocorrência do evento no tempo decorrido.

( ) O passado do verbo "to read" mantém a mesma grafia do infinitivo, embora a pronúncia mude de /ri?d/ para /red/, seguindo o padrão de outros verbos de estado.
