Explanation

The suffixes -gan, -kan, -qan are added to a verb base to form a past-tense verb and show that an action has been done. If the verb base ends in k, -kan is written: ek – ekkan, chek – chekkan. If the base ends in q, -qan is written: chiq – chiqqan, oq – oqqan. After other sounds -gan is written: kel – kelgan, yoz – yozgan, yog‘ – yog‘gan, o‘qi – o‘qigan.
