is this sentence correct

[ANNIE78516]

Yesterday I shredded the papers. or is it shred

 

[David L.]

Now I shred
Yesterday I shredded
I have shredded
I am shredding

The triple "d" sound in shredded is somewhat difficult to say.

I don't think that anyone would be agast if you used "shred" for past tense.

I shred the papers yesterday.
I have shred the papers.
(this is a relatively new verb, since the shredding machine craze!)

The makers of Shredded Wheat breakfast cereal would regard the shredding machine as very much the new-kid-on-the-block when it comes to how long the word 'shredded' has been in popular use.
I can't see how much difference there is in the pronunciation of/getting one's tongue around 'shredded' with 3 d's, versus 'dreaded' with 2 d's

Now comes the trouble: no dreaded, so -
1.I dread going
2.I dread going
Have I been, or have I still to go for my dentist's appointment?

1. I dread going to the dentist so I only go every two years.
2. I dreaded going to the dentist this time because I was sure he would have to use the drill.
I dreaded going to the dentist as a child.
I don't think that anyone would be agast if you used "shred" for past tense.
