Simple Past Tense!

Regular Verbs

In general, the Past Tense is used to talk about something that started and finished at a definite time in the past.

The main rule is that for every verb in English, there is only one form of it in the past tense.

(The exception is the Past tense of To Be, which has two forms: was and were)

Base form + -ed

Walk = Walked

Play = Played

Spelling rule#2:

Verbs ending in -e + -d

Love= Loved

Like = Liked

Spelling rule#3:

Verbs ending in a consonant + (-Y )

Change the (-Y) for -i + -ed

Some verbs ending in a single consonant + the 2nd last letter is a vowel

(Double the last letter + -ed)
