the part of speech.
Simple Past Tense is used to describe
things that have already happened. It is used to
talk about things that happened or existed
before now.
These can be in terms of:
 events in the past that are now finished
 situation in the past
 a series of actions in the past

Verbs used are either regular or irregular

verbs. To form the regular verb, add
either d, or ed to the verb.

Regular verbs + d Regular verbs + ed

dance + d = walk + ed = walked

danced
combine + d = paint + ed =painted
combined
love + d = loved look + ed = looked

use + d = used play + ed = played

 smile + d = smiled clean + ed =
cleaned
file + d =filed brush + ed =
brushed
slice + d = sliced touch + ed =
touched
live + d = lived climb + ed =
