What is the past tense of "Drive"?
Hello! I was proofreading my son's essay, I read sentence, "Yesterday, I drived to the store." Unsure if "drived" was the correct past tense of "drive," I decided to reach out to you for clarification.

Hi there, pixev62558.

It's a good call for you to reach out to us for clarification. The past tense form of the verb 'drive' is 'drove'. It can be pronounced as /drowv/, with the long vowel Oo (o_e) sound.

Your son's sentence should be written as: "Yesterday, I drove to the store."

Your son is lucky to have you proofread his work.
