Example: marry – married Example sentence: Miss Moore married Dave. NOTE: Married in this sentence is a verb. They fell in love and got married. Married in this sentence, however, is not a verb. It’s actually an adjective. Got is the main verb. Verbs ending vowel + y: For verbs ending with vowel + y, we don’t delete -y, we just add +ed. Example: stay – stayed Example sentence: They stayed at a romantic 1 star hotel.
