>what is the past tense of
glide?)
Seems that "glided" is correct - some "Google answers"
are:
Phonologically
similar to the stems of irregular verbs (e.g. glide�glided; cf.
ride�rode, hide�hid). Unlike ��consistent regulars��, whose stems
are phonologically dissimilar to the stems of regular verbs, inconsistent
regular verbs are predicted by a dual-system view to be memorised; if they were
not, people would utter forms like glid or glode, which does not
appear to occur. An example of a strong verb that has been converted into a weak verb is 'to glide', whose past form used to be 'glad'. ****************** Past participle is
the third principal part of an English verb. In weak verbs, the pattern is
glide, glided, glided; in strong verbs the pattern varies in form:
it can be unchanging, as in set, set, set; it can change vowels
for past tense and past participle, as in swim, swam, swum;
it can change vowels and add a final -n or -en for the past
participle, as in fly, flew, flown and drive, drove,
driven; or it can have various combinations of these three general
patterns. The forms of strong verb past participles are often in divided
usage (show, showed, showed or shown; prove,
proved, proved or
