past tense of sore Mon Jul 14, 2008 2:35 am  past tense of sore
 

Hi ched133

In that sort of context, the word 'sore' is normally only used as an adjective, so you would have to change the verb 'be' to the past tense:

- "My body was so sore from sports last week"

The verb 'to sore' has only an extremely limited and specialized meaning (which the Compact Oxford Dictionary doesn't even bother to mention):
"To mutilate the legs or feet of (a horse) in order to induce a particular gait in the animal."
