Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sentence "Yesterday, I sitted on the floor" is an example of overregularizing grammatical rules because the past tense of the verb "sit" is usually formed by adding "-t" at the end of the verb ("sat" in this case), but Fran added "-ed" instead. This is a common mistake made by young children who are still learning grammatical rules.
