Ways to tell them apart:
Spread
is both the present and past tense of the verb, meaning it does not change form like regular verbs.
Spread
follows the pattern of irregular verbs that do not take an -ed ending in the past tense.
Spreaded
is not the correct form for the past tense, even though adding -ed is typical for regular verbs.
The verb
spread
is unique because it doesn't follow standard past tense conjugation rules like adding -ed.
Remember that the verb does not change form from present to past, unlike regular verbs that typically add -ed.
