Chackled

/ˈtʃækəld/ verb

Definition

Past tense of chackle; made repeated clicking or chocking sounds.

Etymology

From 'chackle' (verb) with the regular past tense suffix '-ed,' the standard English way to form past tense of regular verbs since Old English times.

Kelly Says

The '-ed' ending is so common for past tense that we barely notice it, but it's one of the most productive grammatical patterns in English—almost every regular verb gets it!
