🔤 Rule for Regular Verbs in Simple Past Tense:

For most regular verbs, we add -ed to the base form to form the simple past tense.

Examples:
- walk → walked
- play → played
- cook → cooked

There are some spelling rules:
1. If the verb ends in -e, just add -d.
- e.g., *like* → *liked*
2. If the verb ends in a consonant + -y, change -y to -ied.
- e.g., *study* → *studied*
3. If the verb ends in a vowel + -y, just add -ed.
- e.g., *play* → *played*
4. If the verb ends in -l and is preceded by a single vowel, double the -l before adding -ed.
- e.g., *travel* → *traveled* (US) or *travelled* (UK)

Now, let's go through the list of verbs on your worksheet and convert them to the simple past tense.

⚠️ Note:

- Some verbs listed may be irregular. For example:
- Catch → caught (irregular)
- Run → ran (irregular)
- Draw → drew (irregular)
- Say → said (but not on the list)

But since the title says "Regular verbs", it seems the intention is to practice regular verbs, so likely these were meant to be treated as regular — though some are actually irregular.

Let me clarify:

| Verb | Regular? | Correct Past Tense |
|---------|----------|--------------------|
| Catch | ✘ Irregular | caught (not "catched") |
| Run | ✘ Irregular | ran (not "runned") |
| Draw | ✘ Irregular | drew (not "drawed") |
| Say | ✘ Irregular | said (not "sayed") |

So if this worksheet includes irregular verbs, then the instruction might be misleading. However, in many ESL contexts, even irregular verbs are sometimes included in such lists for practice.

---

✔ Final Answer (Corrected):

If we assume all verbs are intended to be treated as regular, then the answers are as above. But for accuracy:

- Catch → caught (irregular)
- Run → ran (irregular)
- Draw → drew (irregular)

These should not follow the "-ed" rule.

📝 Recommendation:

If this is a classroom exercise, it's important to note that:
- Regular verbs: Add -ed (e.g., *talk → talked*)
- Irregular verbs: Must be memorized (e.g., *run → ran*, *catch → caught*)
