Etymology 1
en verb-past-tense :inh enm:-ede<id:past>
From en enm -ede past, enm -ed. During the Middle English period, this increasingly standard -ed ending largely absorbed the class 1 weak past ending (ang -de) through morphological leveling. However, many class 1 verbs resisted this leveling to become modern irregular verbs (such as kept and left). This resistance was driven by phonotactics: attaching the consonant suffix directly to the stem often triggered pre-cluster vowel shortening (and consonant devoicing) in Early Middle English, creating a stark vowel alternation between the present and past tense that anchored the irregular form. Conversely, verbs that lacked this stark alternation (such as deem, where the early past tense demde remained insufficiently distinct from the present stem) were highly vulnerable to leveling, adopting the syllabic -ed to ensure the past tense was clearly marked. In modern usage, this morphological leveling has proceeded further in American English than in British English, which frequently preserves the irregular en -t variant for such verbs.
Ultimately from en gem-pro *-ōd-. Cognate with stq -ede -ed first person singular past indicative ending, nds -de -ed first and third person singular past indicative ending, nl -d -ed, de -t -ed, sv -ade -ed, is -aði -ed.

Usage notes
In everyday Peninsular Spanish, it is more common to use the infinitive instead of the affirmative imperative for the second-person plural, although this is technically incorrect according to the Royal Spanish Academy. In Latin America, the pronoun *vosotros*—along with its verb conjugations, inflections, and possessives—is not used and is considered archaic; instead, the forms corresponding to the pronoun *ustedes* are always used.
