Verbs ending in a consonant followed by -y change the -y to -ied in the past tense form.
Query is regular. It follows the -ied Conversion rule.
Use past time markers: "Yesterday, she queried to the store."
No. Use "did not query" (not "did not queried").
The verb query follows the standard English past tense conjugation rule. When forming the past tense, query becomes queried. This follows the -ied Conversion pattern, which is one of the most common conjugation rules in English.
Understanding why query becomes queried helps with spelling and pronunciation. Verbs ending in a consonant followed by -y change the -y to -ied in the past tense form.
When using queried in writing, remember that it functions as a past tense verb and typically appears with time markers like yesterday, last week, or ago. For example: "Yesterday, she queried to the store." The past tense form does not change based on the subject — I queried, you queried, he/she queried, we queried, they queried.
