hurt
/hɜːt/
The word "hurt" is an irregular verb. Its past tense and past participle forms are the same as the present form: hurt, hurt, hurt. When used as a verb to describe pain (intransitive), it does not take a direct object. For example, you say "My head hurts," not "My head hurts me." In emotional contexts, "hurt" is often used with the word "feelings" to describe someone being offended or saddened by another person's words or actions.
