What is the past tense of read?

First Question: Do you like to read?
Second Question: What’s the best book you’ve ever read?
Third Question: Notice anything about the last words in the first and second questions?

Most likely you noticed they are spelled the same and both relate to the same activity: reading. They are, however, pronounced differently. The read at the end of the first question rhymes with seed, while the read in the second question rhymes with bed.

So how do you know which pronunciation to use? Read (like seed) more to find out!

What Does «Read» Mean?

Read most often takes the form of a verb and, like many words in the English language, has several related but distinct definitions.

The most used definitions for the verb “to read” are:

  • To look at, interpret, and comprehend the meaning of written material
  • To verbalize written material, usually to another person who is listening

The definition of read

What Is the Past Tense of «Read»?

For most regular verbs, if you want to write in the past tense, you just add -ed (e.g. played, jumped, shouted). Unfortunately, the irregular verb read doesn’t work like that. There’s no such word as readed.

Instead, there are a few different ways to write read in the past tense, depending on who was doing the reading and when it happened.

When it comes to pronunciation, there are two general rules you can follow for «read» in the past tense:

  • Any form with the ing ending has the long e sound (like «weeding»).
  • Any form that includes has/have/had before read (without the ing) has the short e sound (like «red»).

How Do I Conjugate the Verb «To Read»?

If you’re studying English grammar, you might have heard of verb conjugation before. This sounds complicated, but all it means is changing a verb to make it make sense in your sentence.

There are several different ways you can talk about the past in English, and each of them has its own rules. We’ll break them down and give you examples so you can get it right every time.

What Is the Simple Past Form of «To Read»?

We use the simple past tense to describe an action that was completed before now.

  • I read the instructions before I built the wardrobe.

Pronunciation: «Read» sounds like «red».

What Is the Past Perfect Form of «To Read»?

Now we get a bit more specific. If you had finished reading something before a specific point in the past, use «had read».

  • I had read Moby Dick three times by the time I was ten years old.

Pronunciation: «Read» sounds like «red»—and remember to include «had» before «read».

What Is the Past Continuous Form of “To Read”?

If someone began reading in the past, and was still reading when another event occurred, use «was reading,» like this:

  • He was reading when the telephone rang.
  • They were reading when the alarm sounded.

Pronunciation: «Reading» rhymes with «weeding».

What Is the Past Perfect Continuous Form of «To Read»?

If you want to describe a continuing action that occurred before a particular time in the past, use «had been reading».

  • She had been reading romance novels for years before she decided to write a novel herself.
  • I had been reading about space travel, so I decided to become an astronaut.

As you can see from these examples, we use «had been reading» to describe actions that have taken place continuously over a longer period of time (e.g. for years) that directly relate to the moment you want to reference (e.g. she decided to write a novel herself).

Pronunciation: «Reading» rhymes with «weeding».

What Is the Past Participle of «Read»?

Time for a bonus round! The past participle is not actually a tense. Instead, it is the form of a verb that we use to make the past perfect tense.

That’s a lot of grammar jargon. All you really need to know is that the past participle of «to read» is «read» (rhymes with «red»).

While this is spelled the same as the simple past version, it is used differently.

Simple Past:

  • I read the book yesterday.
  • I read the reviews before I made my decision.
  • I read to her to help her fall asleep.

Past Participle:

  • My students had read the book, but I don’t think they understood it.
  • I had read about it in a book, but seeing the sunrise over Mount Fuji in person was so much better.
  • The book had been read by millions of people before the movie came out.

Does «Reading» Ever Rhyme with «Bedding»?

The only instance I know of where «reading» rhymes with «bedding» is when it’s referring to a city in the state of Pennsylvania, the town near London, or the (no longer in existence) Reading Co., which was a railroad in Southeast Philadelphia, PA. If you’ve ever played the board game Monopoly (the American version) you may have heard of the Reading Railroad.

If you know other examples of «reading» rhyming with «bedding» let me know!

What Are Some Homophones for «Read»?

Now that you know the past tense of read, let’s check your spelling.

Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings, spellings, or origins.

For example, the past tense of «to read», which is read, shares the same sound as red—but not the same meaning.

The definition of homophones

The present tense to read (rhymes with deed) sounds like reed, but as with the past tense of read and the word red, that similar sound is all the words have in common.

  • Red is an adjective that identifies color. It’s the color of blood, marinara sauce, and the most popular roses and sports cars. Red is not an action. It’s not a verb. Read (past tense) is a verb. It means that in the past, you (or another subject) looked at, interpreted, and comprehended some written text.
  • Reed is not a verb either. In its noun form, a reed is a long, grassy plant that grows in a marsh or a thin blade of cane or metal that is used to play certain instruments.

As an adjective, reed describes instruments that require reeds (the noun) to make sound: a clarinet is a reed instrument.

What Does It Mean to «Read Up On» Something?

There are lots of phrases in English that contain the word «read» (in both the past and present tense). Many of these phrases are idioms, which means that the meaning of the phrase differs from the meaning of its individual words. For example, to call off an event means to cancel that event even though neither «call» nor «off» means «to cancel».

ProWritingAid

Most of the phrases below can be presented in either the past (where read rhymes with red) or present (where read rhymes with reed) tense.

  • Read over: to read through something quickly; get an overview.

  • Read off: to read out loud from a list.

  • Read back: to read, out loud, information someone has just dictated or given.

  • Read up on: to learn about something by reading about it.

  • Read one’s mind: to know what someone is thinking.

  • Do you read me?: the speaker is saying, “Do you understand me?”. This one can only be used in the present tense.

  • Read between the lines: to recognize the real meaning behind the surface or apparent meaning.

  • Read like a book: to understand someone completely—their emotions or intentions.

  • Read my lips: the speaker is saying “Pay attention!” or “Listen closely!”. This one can only be used in the present tense.

  • Read one’s rights: law enforcement must recite the perpetrator’s legal rights upon arrest.

  • Read the room: to assess/analyze the mood of people in a particular setting and act appropriately in response.

  • Read the fine print: to make certain you are aware of and understand the specific rules/regulations.

  • Read ’em and weep: to show results that make you the victor! This idiom is often used in card games. This one can only be used in the present tense.

  • Read the riot act: to scold harshly.

  • It reads well: this means a work is written well and pleasing to read. (Past tense: It read well, rhyming with «red».)

  • Read music: to understand the symbols used in written musical scores.

How Does «Read» Function as a Noun?

read as a noun

Because the English language loves to keep its readers, writers, speakers, and learners on their toes, read has another function as a noun.

If you give something a read, that means you’ve read through it.

If you enjoy a book or article, you might say, «that was a great read

If you have a read on something, that means you understand how it works.

When used as a noun, read has the long e sound and is preceded by an article (usually «a»).

  12. If you had read more carefully, you would have found the answer.

  13. At school, teachers help students learn to read.

  14. They have not read the newspaper yet.

  15. The teacher read to the class.

  16. I read books.

In 16., we need more information to determine the correct answer to this «trick» question. If the speaker is making a present-tense statement, then it’s the long e. If they are answering a question about what they did last week (or some other time in the past), then it’s the short e.

Example of past tense:

  • «I read books.»

(short e, rhymes with «red»)

Example of present tense:

  • «What do you do for a hobby?»

  • «I read books.»

(long e, rhymes with «weed»)

Read: A Review

Now you’ve read through this post you should have a solid read on when to pronounce read with the long e or short e sound.

If you need a review, read through it again and let the sounds sink in.

Before you go, I’d love to recommend a book I just read (short e). I’m a fan of thoughtful suspense (and rich psychological thrillers) and The Searcher by Tana French was a great read (long e)—I hope you enjoy it!

Why Is the Past Tense of Read Read?

To first understand a word, its history, and how to use it properly, it is important to first define what it actually means.  According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary, the English verb read can be defined as “to receive or take in the sense of (letters, symbols, etc.), especially by sight or touch, to study the movements of with mental formulation of the communication expressed.”.  A secondary definition is to become acquainted with or look over the contents of (something, such as a book), e.g., to read over a piece of documentation.  Overall, there are more than forty definitions listed for the verb “to read” in both transitive and intransitive forms. 

The correct simple past tense of the verb to read is just “read.”  According to WordHippo, while the present tense of the verb is “to read” (with the third person plural being “reads”), the past tense is also read, but it is pronounced “red” rather than “reed”.  The confusion inherent in the grammar does pretty much come down to the pronunciation at the end of the day with this irregular verb.  So, in short, the past tense of read is also read in pretty much any context.  Past tense verbs can be tricky like this. We will discuss context later on in this article.  

What Are the 3 Forms of Read?

There are actually three different forms of the word “read,” and they all work in different contexts.  Here they are:

  • Read: sounds like need, and is the simple present tense of the verb.
  • Read: sounds like red, and is the past tense of the verb.
  • Read: sounds like red, but is the past participle of the verb, and is used in the context of things that have happened in your life.  For example, “I have read that book in the past.”  

What Is the Past and Past Participle of Read?

The correct past tense of read is also spelled “read,” but it is pronounced like the color red rather than the plant, a reed.  The past participle, which is the third form of the verb, is always preceded by the word “have,” and it conveys a completed action in someone’s past (e.g., I have read, I have done, I have been, etc.).  Both “read” and “have read” are past tense, but usually, the past participle is used for when people are describing an action in their past that is completed.

As a side note, if you’re curious about any other verb forms, the present participle, or gerund, of read is reading— for example, you would say “I am reading.” In the future tense, in both American English and British English, we say “will read,” as in “they will read, he/she will read.” The past perfect tense would be “have/has been reading.”

The word “read” also has a noun form, but it is not used often, and because it is a noun, it has no tense or conjugation (past, present, or future).    

The History and Origin of the Word

One of the best ways to understand a word is to learn where it came from.  A word’s etymology can reveal a lot about the changes a word has gone through to get to where it is today in modern English.  According to EtymOnline.com, the word “to read” first entered modern English from the Old English word “raedan,” which came from the Anglian word “redan,” which was translated “to advise, counsel, persuade, discuss, deliberate, rule, or guide.”  Words from most of this root in most modern languages still mean counsel or advise, but also mean “to understand the meaning of written symbols.”  

The word came from the Latin word “legere,” which means to read as well.  Much of the vocabulary in modern English actually comes from ancient Latin or Greek by way of other modern European languages such as Italian, Spanish, or French.  

Examples of the Word in Context

Another great way to learn how to use a word is to explore the word being used correctly.  Either reading the word in its proper context or hearing someone else use it in conversation.  Here are some common examples of the word “to read” (and its past tense, also read) in context:

  • “Are you going to read the assignment for this week?  Or are you just planning on looking over the Sparknotes?”
  • “Have you read the most recent news article about the earthquakes on the west coast?  Things seem to be getting pretty rough.”
  • “He read the lyrics and got really emotional.  It seemed like the song really hit close to home.”

Synonyms for Read

Finally, to really solidify a word into your vocabulary, it is useful to explore words with similar or same definitions.  The more words you know that can fit into a specific context, the easier it will be to remember which ones to use.  Here are some synonyms for the verb “to read”:

  • To peruse means to read quickly, to glance over
  • To devour means to read deeply and often
  • To scrutinize means to read with very specific intent and focus
