Let's solve this step-by-step. The task is to write the past tense of each given verb.

We need to determine whether each verb is a regular or irregular verb:

- Regular verbs: Usually add -ed to form the past tense (e.g., *walk → walked*).
- Irregular verbs: Have unique past tense forms that must be memorized (e.g., *go → went*, *eat → ate*).

---

Let's go through each verb:



1) wash → Regular verb → washed
2) play → Regular verb → played
3) pick → Regular verb → picked
4) try → Regular verb → tried
5) decide → Regular verb → decided
6) rush → Regular verb → rushed
7) fly → Irregular verb → flew
8) spray → Regular verb → sprayed
9) live → Regular verb → lived
10) use → Regular verb → used
11) know → Irregular verb → knew
12) fall → Irregular verb → fell
13) write → Irregular verb → wrote
14) wish → Regular verb → wished
15) forget → Irregular verb → forgot
16) clap → Regular verb → clapped

Final Answers:



1) wash → washed
2) play → played
3) pick → picked
4) try → tried
5) decide → decided
6) rush → rushed
7) fly → flew
8) spray → sprayed
9) live → lived
10) use → used
11) know → knew
12) fall → fell
13) write → wrote
14) wish → wished
15) forget → forgot
16) clap → clapped

Explanation Summary:
- Most of these verbs are regular and follow the "-ed" rule.
- The irregular ones (fly, know, fall, write, forget) have unique past forms that don't follow the standard pattern and must be memorized.
