Past Simple Regular Verbs Flashcards with Illustrations for Language Learning

Of course! This worksheet is designed to help you practice forming the Past Simple tense of Regular Verbs.

✔ The Rule for Regular Verbs in Past Simple:

To form the past simple of most regular verbs, you simply add -ed to the base form of the verb.
> Example: `help` → `helped`, `wash` → `washed`, `live` → `lived`

There are a few spelling rules to remember:
1. If a verb ends in -e, just add -d (e.g., `live` → `lived`)
2. If a verb ends in consonant + y, change y to i and add -ed (e.g., `carry` → `carried`, `cry` → `cried`)
3. If a verb ends in vowel + y, just add -ed (e.g., `play` → `played`)
4. For one-syllable verbs ending in consonant-vowel-consonant, double the final consonant before adding -ed (e.g., `stop` → `stopped` — though not many here follow this rule)
