Originally the simple past and past participle of wend, but now the past of go due to suppletion. While wend is akin to wind, compare typologically Russian смота́ться (smotátʹsja), сма́тываться (smátyvatʹsja), умота́ть (umotátʹ), ума́тывать (umátyvatʹ) (akin to мота́ть (motátʹ)). went.
Went is the past simple tense of the verb go, used to describe actions or movements completed in the past. Unlike regular verbs that add “-ed” (e.g., walked), go is an irregular verb, so its past form is unique. For example, “She went to school” indicates a completed action.
Went is the simple past tense of “go,” meaning “travel” or “leave.” Go does not follow the regular pattern of adding “-ed” to form the past tense or past participle.
