See It in Action In the first draft, the writer of the report on Atlantis wrote this:

Perhaps the most significant evidence is that scientists now know that a
volcano that erupted on Thera throwed more than twice as much pumice
and cinders into the atmosphere as Krakatoa did in 1883.
When editing, the writer caught the mistake. Throw is an irregular verb; its
past tense form is threw, not throwed. Other irregular past-tense verbs in the
report include built (not builded), swept (not sweeped), and sank (not sinked).
Remember It Record this rule in the Power Rule section of your Personalized
Editing Checklist. You may also want to memorize the past-tense forms of some
commonly used or easily mistaken verbs.
Use It Read through your research report to make sure you have used the
correct past-tense forms of verbs.
