Adding “ed” to every past tense verb — anyone else’s 3.5 year old doing this?

It’s part of the normal language learning process. Later she will realize that some verbs have irregular past tense forms. Don’t worry.

This is normal, OP.

This is called overgeneralization and most toddlers and preschoolers do it at some point or another. They usually outgrow it by the time they are five.

My 4yo does this too. It's cute. The one I"m currently noticing is "goed" (=went).
