'''zero past marking''' is the absence of the past marker "ed" occurring in some nonstandard dialects of English, such as [[Caribbean English]]. Instead of an ending, the past is dealt with in other ways. The feature leads to sentences like this: |
|||
"Yesterday, I watch television. |
|||
"I had pass the test. |
