Form (Forma)

Para formar el pasado simple con verbos regulares, añadimos la terminación "-ed" al verbo. La forma es la misma para todas personas (I, you, he, she, it, we, they).

• Ejemplos:
•  want → wanted
   
• learn → learned
   
• stay → stayed
   
• walk → walked
• show → showed
   

Excepciones:

1. Para verbos que terminan en una "e", sólo añadimos "-d.
   • Ejemplos:
   • change → changed
   •  believe → believed
      
2. Si el verbo termina en una vocal corta y una consonante (excepto "y" o "w"), doblamos la consonante final.
   • Ejemplos:
   • stop → stopped
   •  commit → committed
3. Con verbos que terminan en una consonante y una "y", se cambia la "y" para una "i".
• Ejemplos:
•  study → studied
  try → tried
