Explanation:
- The Simple Past Tense is formed by using the base form of the verb for regular verbs and adding
-ed (e.g., walk → walked, visit → visited).
- For irregular verbs, the past tense form is different from the base form (e.g., see → saw, throw → threw, teach → taught).
- Always check if the verb is regular or irregular to determine its past tense form.
Final Answer:
\boxed{met, visited, saw, threw, dried, ran, walked, taught, tapped, enjoyed}
