The past tense verbs (e.g. Had, Did) are the same for both first person and third person verbs, and they are stored in the Verb +ED (cell F2) folder. The verb 'To Be' has exceptions with more forms than any other verb. At the root level Are is stored in the Verb Root folder (cell A2) and Is is stored in the Verb +S folder (cell E2). But there are two more forms, Be and Am, and each needs a folder of its own so that the same target icon can be used to produce them. Be is stored on its own in the Be folder (cell E4). Am is only ever spoken before or after I, so it is not stored as a separate word in Minspeak LLL, but is found in the phrases I am and Am I, in the appropriate phrases folders I and Am-Are-Is. (See All Folders View in Core Explorer, cells A3 and E4 respectively). At the past tense level Was is stored in the Verb +ED folder (cell F2) along with all the other past tense verbs, and Were is the only verb stored in the Were folder (cell D2).
