bade
Gave formal instruction
Bade is the past tense of bid in its older senses: to command, to invite, or to express.
She bade him enter.
He bade farewell to his family.
The word is formal and literary, rarely heard in everyday speech.
The alternative past tense bid is now more common even in these contexts.
