Tenses worksheet for kids: Write the past tense of each regular verb with illustrated examples.

Let me work through this step by step to find the past tense of each regular verb.

Step-by-step reasoning:

For regular verbs in English, we form the past tense by adding "-ed" to the base form of the verb. Let me check each one:

1. crawl → add -ed → crawled
2. walk → add -ed → walked
3. shout → add -ed → shouted
4. brush → add -ed → brushed
5. play → add -ed → played
6. hug → This needs double consonant before -ed because it's a short vowel + single consonant → hugged
7. kick → add -ed → kicked
8. cook → add -ed → cooked

Let me verify each one:
- crawled ✓
- walked ✓
- shouted ✓
- brushed ✓
- played ✓
- hugged ✓ (double g because hug has short vowel sound)
- kicked ✓
- cooked ✓

All of these are regular verbs, so they follow the standard rule of adding -ed (with the exception of "hug" which doubles the final consonant).
