Owned

HAD

Think of the past tense verb that means you possessed something before, often used with "I" or "they."

"Owned" is a past-tense clue hinting at possession, and the simplest word for that is "had." There’s no wordplay here—it’s a straightforward definition where "had" directly means something you once owned. Think of it like saying, "I had a dog," meaning you owned one in the past. The answer fits because it’s the most common verb for past possession.
