The form of a verb used to describe an action that
happened before the present time and is no longer
happening. It is usually made by adding –ed (in the case of
regular verbs). For example:

I cooked lasagna for my husband.

Yesterday, I chatted with my best friend.
My daughter and I cleaned the house.
Sara watched a very good movie.
 1) UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM

The difference between a regular and an irregular verb is

the formation of the simple past. Regular verbs are
consistent. The simple past ends in ed.

to laugh laughed
to start started
to wash washed
to wink winked
 2) WHAT HAPPENS IF THE VERB IS IRREGULAR?

In contrast, the simple past of irregular verbs can

end in a variety of ways, with absolutely no
consistent pattern.
Here are some examples:
Simple
Infinitive
Past
to drive drove
to feel felt
to put put
to swim swam
As in any other type of sentence, the SIMPLE PAST has
3 main structures:

*Affirmative

*Negative

*Interrogative
