    Note

    A form that never travels without its preposition: the verb behind it lives only in the phrasal verb major in, so one majored in history, never simply majored history. Being intransitive, it builds its perfect with have (she had majored in engineering). The adjective major, used before nouns for what is greater or more serious, has no part in this form; the -ed ending belongs to the study verb alone.
