Understanding why ready becomes readied 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 readied 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 readied to the store." The past tense form does not change based on the subject — I readied, you readied, he/she readied, we readied, they readied.
