Explanation:
-
Regular verbs follow a predictable pattern: the past tense is formed by adding
-ed to the base form.
- Some verbs may require slight spelling adjustments (e.g., dropping a final "e" before adding "-ed," or doubling the consonant in certain cases).
- All the verbs in this worksheet are regular, so the solution involves simply adding
-ed to the base form.
