The past tense of the irregular verb “go” is “went.”
English verbs usually form the past tense with -ed, as in walk and walked, but irregular verbs follow older or unusual patterns. Go is especially distinctive because its past form does not resemble the present form at all. Its principal parts are go, went, and gone: “I go,” “I went,” and “I have gone.”
Historically, went came from the verb wend, meaning to travel or proceed. Over time, speakers began using went as the past tense of go, while wend developed its own past form, wended. This process, in which a word’s grammatical form comes from a different root, is called suppletion.
Gone is not the simple past tense. It is the past participle, normally used with an auxiliary verb such as have or had: “She went home yesterday” but “She has gone home.” Goned and goed are not standard English forms. “Went” is therefore the single canonical answer for a question asking for the past tense of go.
