With regular verbs, we usually add -ed

(work-worked, start-started, walk-walked)

If the verb ends in e , we only add -d

(live-lived, smile-smiled, change-changed)

If a short verb ends in one vowel + consonant, we double the last consonant and add -ed

(plan-planned, shop-shopped, skip-skipped)

If the verb ends in a consonant -y, we change the y to -i- and add -ed.

(try-tried. spy-spied, study-studied)

​If the verb ends in a vowel + y, do not change the -y-.

Just add -ed

​

​(play-played, obey-obyed, employ-employed)

PAY - PAID
LAY - LAID
BUY - BOUGHT

If the verb has two syllables and the accent goes to the second syllable, we double the last consonant.
