Past Simple
Regular verbs - Regular past simple forms are formed by adding -ed to the infinitive of the verb. ... If a verb ends in a vowel and a consonant, the consonant is usually doubled before -ed. stop → stopped. plan → planned. If a verb ends in consonant and -y, you take off the y and add -ied.

Irregular verbs-
An irregular verb is one that does not form its simple past tense or its past participle by adding "-ed" or "-d" to the base form. Irregular verbs contrast with regular verbs, which form the simple past tense and past participle by adding "-ed" or "-d."
-
Affirmative form- When we use the past simple in its affirmative form, we start with the subject followed by the verb in the past tense. For example: — “They worked on an important project yesterday.” = The sentence is in the past simple affirmative, so we add -ed at the end of the verb work (worked).
Negative form- When we use the past simple in its negative form, we start with the subject followed by did not and the base form of the verb. ... — “They didn't work on an important project yesterday.” = The sentence is in the past simple negative, so we use did not followed by the base form of the verb to work (didn't work).
Interrogative form- We use the past simple, in its interrogative form, to ask about situations that occurred and finished in the past. When we use the past simple in its interrogative form, we start with did followed by the subject and the verb in its base form (the sentence ends with a question mark).
