Past Simple (3)

You form the past simple of regular verbs by adding -ed to the verb. If the verb already ends in -e, you only add -d.

Examples:

Past Simple (4)

If the verb ends in a short vowel + one consonant, you double that consonant when you add -ed.

• (to stop) He stopped to take a picture.
  
• (to grab) They grabbed the food off the floor.

Past Simple (5)

If the verb ends in a consonant + -y, you replace that -y with -ied.

• (to try) The monkey tried to climb the tree.
  
• (to cry) The player cried after losing the final.
