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*).
