🛌 weep runs with The Sleepy Gang
ee → e + t
Every member of the Sleepy Gang has a long, dreamy ee sound... until they wake up in the past. Then the long sound snaps short and a little -t appears at the end, like an alarm clock: sleep → slept, keep → kept, feel → felt, leave → left. Witnesses say you can hear it: sleeeep... slept!
🔎 How to spot one: A long ee now, a short e + t in the past. Past and participle are twins.
