Welcome to this blog about regular verbs in past tense.

Introduction to Regular Verbs:
As we know there are two types of verbs: irregular verbs and regular verbs. Today i am going to explain how to make the past tense of regular verbs.
Regular Verbs: these type of verbs form the past test adding ed, but there some rules that we have to take into account.
The regular verbs are the easiest verbs to learn. It is very important to learn the rules so that we can use these verbs correctly.

We can do the past tense of regular verbs by adding ed to most of this verbs; for example, accept - accepted.

Regular verbs endings in " y" preceded by a consonant we change this y into i and we add es, for example, try - tried. but if the verb ends in "y" preceded by a vowel the verb does not change the "y".for example, play - played.

Regular verbs endings in consanant preceded by a vowel we double the consonant. for example, happen - happenned.

Now I will show a list regular verbs in past tense and with its translation in Spanish.
