Incorrect spelling, explanation: a typical mistake made by many English speakers and learners is to simply add an -ed ending to the verb to dry while creating its past simple or past participle form. It gives the form dryed, which is wrong as we need to change -y to -i first and then add an -ed ending, which results in the correct form dried.

Correct spelling, explanation: the form has its origin in Germanic languages, but it already appeared in Old English. Over the centuries the word has changed its spelling and meaning and today it is a verb or an adjective. It is important to realize that when you want to add an -es or -ed ending to the base form -to dry, you need to change -y to -i and then add -es or -ed, which gives dries and dried.
