There are regular and irregular verbs.

REGULAR VERBS 

In the case of regular verbs, the ending ed is added to form the past tense. It is very important the pronunciation. For example.

With infinitives ending in p, f, k or s (voiceless consonants, except t) we pronounce the ed ending as a "t".

With infinitives ending in b, g, l, m, n, v, z (voiced consonants, except d) or a vowel, we pronounce only the d.

Ruler 

1. verb ends in "e", d is added to form the past tense, example: 

• I decided to buy the red one 
• She loved you 

2. verb ending in y preceded by a consonant, change the y to "i" and add the ed. For example: try -tried, worry - worried, apply - applied.

• I was worried about your dog 
• He applied the mathematical formula to the problem 

3. If the verb ends in a short vowel and a consonant except y or w), we double the final consonant. Examples:stop - stopped , commit - committed

• He committed to his job
• He stopped at a red traffic light 

IRREGULAR VERBS 

Irregular verbs do not follow defined rules for forming the simple past tense

• They went for a walk in the park
