WTFDA? "to can" is not a verb...it's TWO words...
You aren't too bright anyways...it's "past tense"...

You mean "Past Tense".
I don't think "to can" could be used correctly in present tense, therefore, there is no correct past tense. Otherwise, I'm going with Did from the above reply.

The verb "to can" means to put things into cans. It is a regular verb and is conjugated:
Everyday I can fruit.
Yesterday I canned green beans.
I have canned peaches all morning.
The auxiliary verb "can" is not conjugated.

"to can" doesn't make sense unless you say something like: "They have to can these beans" in that case it's " The beans have been canned" (to have canned the beans)
The word 'can' in a sentence such as " I can help you" is an auxiliary verb. (helping verb)

You would have to change the form to "to be able".

My toucan died, so it has passed. Does that count?

"canned", as in "I canned tomatoes last season" or "he got canned from his job for insubordination"
