Nick⚡Maximize Your Potential, Exceed Expectations 💡 JUNIOR ➡ GENERAL ➡ ACADEMIC ➡ BUSINESS ENGLISH 🚀Hey, GLOW is a regular verb. * Base Form (V. 1) - GLOW * Past Simple Form (V. 2) - GLOWED * Past Participle Form (V. 3) - GLOWED We simply add 'ED' - 'D' if the verb already ends in an 'E' to turn the verb from its base form to the past simple or past participle form. If the verb ends in 'Y' we change the last letter to an 'I' and then add the 'ED' (E.g. Marry - Married). I hope this explanation clarifies your concern, Hummed. 👌

- What is the correct plural form of "attorney"?
Hello! Is "attornies" or "attorneys" the right plural form of attorney?
Best answer
Attorneys. Change the 'y' to 'i' if a noun ends in 'y'. But this rule doesn't apply here. The reason is the letter preceding the final consonant is a vowel. So this rule apples only when another consonant precedes the final consonant. For example; Buddy ==> buddies
