REGULAR VERBS
In English, a verb can be either a regular verb or an irregular verb.
The majority of the regular verbs follows the same pattern and creates the past and past participle form of the verb by adding “d” or “ed” at the end of the verb.
Some regular verbs in their past and past participle forms which add “d” at the end
Examples:
Base form
Past Simple
Past Participle

Some regular verbs in their past and past participle forms which add “ed” at the end

If the verb ends with a vowel before “y”, we just add “ed”
