EnglishVerbs, Tenses & Agreement
The past tense of rewind is
- a.rewinded
- b.rewounded
- c.rewound
- d.None of the above
Answer: (C) rewound
'Rewind' follows the irregular pattern of 'wind' (to turn or coil): wind - wound - wound, hence rewind - rewound - rewound; 'unwind - unwound' behaves the same way. 'Rewinded' and 'rewounded' are non-standard. Do not confuse this with the regular verb 'wound' (to injure): wound - wounded - wounded. Similar pattern: find - found, bind - bound, grind - ground.
