Regular and Irregular Verbs Past Tense Worksheet - Free Printable

To solve this worksheet, we need to change the verbs in parentheses into the Past Simple tense. Since the title says "Regular Verbs," most of these follow a standard rule: add -ed to the end of the verb.

However, there are three special spelling rules for regular verbs that appear in this list:
1. Verbs ending in 'e': Just add -d (e.g., *live* → *lived*).
2. Verbs ending in consonant + 'y': Change the 'y' to 'i' and add -ed (e.g., *cry* → *cried*, *study* → *studied*).
3. One-syllable verbs ending in CVC (Consonant-Vowel-Consonant): Double the last letter and add -ed (e.g., *stop* → *stopped*). *Note: This specific rule doesn't appear heavily in this specific list, but good to know!*

Let's go through each sentence step-by-step:

1. water: Ends in 'r'. Add -ed. → watered
2. book: Regular. Add -ed. → booked
3. invite: Ends in 'e'. Add -d. → invited
4. live: Ends in 'e'. Add -d. → lived
5. work: Regular. Add -ed. → worked
6. listen: Regular. Add -ed. → listened
7. advise: Ends in 'e'. Add -d. → advised
8. shout: Regular. Add -ed. → shouted
9. arrive: Ends in 'e'. Add -d. → arrived
10. call: Regular. Add -ed. → called
11. look: Regular. Add -ed. → looked
12. rain: Regular. Add -ed. → rained
13. cry: Ends in consonant + 'y'. Change 'y' to 'i' and add -ed. → cried
14. try: Ends in consonant + 'y'. Change 'y' to 'i' and add -ed. → tried
15. paint: Regular. Add -ed. → painted
16. beg: This is a short verb (CVC), so we usually double the 'g' → begged. *(Note: While 'begged' is the strictly correct grammatical form for regular verbs, sometimes simple worksheets accept 'begged'. Let's stick with the standard rule: double the consonant).*
17. turn: Regular. Add -ed. → turned
18. walk: Regular. Add -ed. → walked
19. study: Ends in consonant + 'y'. Change 'y' to 'i' and add -ed. → studied
20. play: Ends in vowel + 'y' (a-y). Do NOT change the y. Just add -ed. → played
21. enjoy: Ends in vowel + 'y' (o-y). Do NOT change the y. Just add -ed. → enjoyed
