Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: hurted himself
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
Explanation : The correct past tense form of the verb " hurt " is "hurt". The past tense of "hurt" doesn't follow the regular pattern of adding "-ed" to the base form. Irregular verbs like "hurt" have a different form for the past tense. "Hurt" remains the same in both the base form and the past tense. So, saying "hurted" is incorrect.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "The little boy hurt himself when he fell off his bicycle."
