Explanation:


- Most verbs in English form their past tense by simply adding -ed to the base form.
- However, there are some irregular verbs that do not follow this pattern (e.g., "run" becomes "ran"), but all the verbs in this list are regular and follow the rule of adding -ed.

Thus, the completed worksheet would look like this:

| Verb | Past Tense |
|---------|------------|
| jump | jumped |
| add | added |
| walk | walked |
| open | opened |
| talk | talked |
| laugh | laughed |
| call | called |
| chew | chewed |
| comb | combed |
| paint | painted |

Final Answer Boxed:
\boxed{
\begin{array}{ll}
\text{jump} & \text{jumped} \\
\text{add} & \text{added} \\
\text{walk} & \text{walked} \\
\text{open} & \text{opened} \\
\text{talk} & \text{talked} \\
\text{laugh} & \text{laughed} \\
\text{call} & \text{called} \\
