To convert a verb from present tense to past tense, we usually add -ed to regular verbs. For example, “play” becomes “played” and “jump” becomes “jumped.” But irregular verbs don’t follow this rule—like “go” changing to “went,” and “eat” changing to “ate.” The subject stays the same, but the verb changes to show that the action happened before now, not in the present moment. This helps readers or listeners know when the action took place. Simple past tense is commonly used in stories, reports, and when talking about yesterday or last week.
