<!-- (Audio) Brian: I studied at a small college as well and majored in information technology. -->

--description--

The rule for conjugating verbs in the past tense that end with -y depends on the letter before the -y. Here's how it works:

If the verb ends with a vowel followed by -y, simply add -ed to the end of the verb. For example, stay becomes stayed.

If the verb ends with a consonant followed by -y, change the -y to -i and add -ed. For example, study becomes studied.

--sentence--

I BLANK at a small college as well and BLANK in information technology.

--blanks--

studied

--feedback--

The past simple tense of study is formed by changing -y to -i and adding -ed.


majored

--feedback--

This word follows the regular past simple tense formation by just adding -ed.
