Is it wrong to say it cost?

Question

Is it wrong grammar to say if you were talking about a girl stuffed animal, she cost... or would it be she costed? Please help!!

Answer 1

Cost is correct. Costed would never be correct, so this one is easy to remember.

Answer 2

If you were asking someone what it would cost to purchase it, you would say "What is the price of that stuffed animal?" If you were asking what someone paid for it you would say "What was the cost of that stuffed stuffed animall?" This would be swapped with that depending on if you were holding "this" or pointing to "that". Normally it's considered inappropriate to ask someone what they paid for something. The stuffed animal isn't a she.

Answer 3

First of all, a stuffed animal would be referred to as 'it' regardless of its gender!

And secondly, the verb 'to cost' in the present tense (3rd singular form) is 'costs', so: "Today, it costs five dollars."

But in the past tense, 3rd singular form is 'cost', so: "Yesterday, It cost five dollars."

Answer 4

Cost. For past and future tense. The present tense would be costing.

Answer 5

Cost and costs.

Answer 6

cost...never add ed

It cost $4.00.
It cost me $100 to get my car repaired.
Yesterday it cost me $2.00 to park.
See my new stuffed animal....she cost
me $15.

Answer 7

She cost.......she costed is not correct grammar :)

Answer 8

OMG--costed? That's like my husband saying "boughten." (I should have boughten that belt when I had the money." ) Makes my hair curl every time he says it...

Answer 9

There is no such word as costed.
