Why do we use "spoke" instead of "speaked" as the past tense of "speak"? Or "flew" instead of "flied" for "fly"? What rule governs these as grammatically correct?
or:Why do we use \"spoke\" instead of \"speaked\" as the past tense of \"speak\"? Or \"flew\" instead of \"flied\" for \"fly\"? What rule governs these as grammatically correct?
or:this is past tense meaning this would be the way it would sound if it was past sense i spoke to her yesterday speaked just doesn't sound great for present you would say i'm speaking at a luncheon tomorrow they don't use speaked
or:I understand this. Do you know why exactly we use \"spoke\" instead of \"speaked\" though? Yes, it does sound unsuitable to us, but only because we actually know and understand English. Look at this question at a foreigner's point-of-view. Using \"speaked\" would be much easier to understand rather than \"spoke\" if learning English as a secondary language. I want to know what rule/law of the English language was followed when creating words such as spoke, grew, flew, ran, shot, rather than \"speaked\
or:My English teacher always used to say \"English is a funny language and it's there to confuse us\"Many things about the English language are strangeI think they just did it to make it more confusing so that only smart people can know all the correct grammarBut don't take my word for it I am only 12
