Grammar Reference

Regular verbs are formed by adding "ed" at the end, for example:

work - worked
stay - stayed
want - wanted

There are some spelling rules to write regular verbs in past tense.

1. When the verbs finish in "e", we have to add only the "d".

Example: dance - danced smile - smiled like - liked

2. When the verbs finish in "consonant + y", we change the "y" for "i" and we add " ed".

Examples: study - studied spy - spied cry - cried

3. When the verbs finish in "vowel + y", we only add "ed".

Example: play - played stay- stayed destroy - destroyed
