Subject + Verb In The Past + the rest of the sentence.

In the Past Tense, the conjugation of the verb does not depend on the subject.

There are 2 kinds of verbs

Regulars - Irregulars.

REGULARS

Add "-ed" at the end of the verbs to conjugate them in the past form. E.g. Cook > Cooked.

If the verb ends in "-y", we change it for "-i + ed", except in those Verbs with a Vowel before the "-y". E.g. Study > Studied.

If the verb ends in "-e", we just add "-d" at the end of it. E.g. Smile > Smiled.

IRREGULARS

Change form and they appear in the 2° column of the Irregular Verbs list.

Examples

Karen studied really hard for the test.

The Verb "Study" is Regular and ends in "-Y".
Change "-Y" for "-I" + "Ed" = "Studied".
