Respuestas a la pregunta
Respuesta:
To form the past simple of regular verbs in English, we have to add -ed to the infinitive without to. For this we will take into account the following rules:
1. In general we add -ed to all regular verbs.
wash → washed finish → finished talk → talked
2. To the verbs that end in -e, we only add a -d.
like → liked live → lived
3. To the verbs that end in a consonant + -y, change the "y" for "i" and add -ed (= -ied)
study → studied carry → carried try → tried
4. Verbs that end in a vowel + -y, add -ed.
play → played
Special cases
Verbs that end in a vowel + consonant (stop, ban, occur, open, offer ...)
a) if the accent falls on the vowel of the last syllable, it is doubled
stop → stopped plan → planned ban → banned occur → occurred
Except for verbs that end in "y" and "w"
play → played show → showed
b) If the accent does NOT fall on the vowel of the last syllable, it is not doubled.
offer → offered open → opened
Except the verbs that end in "l" that double the "l" even though the accent does not fall on the last syllable.
travel → traveled cancel → canceled
Watch out!
One-syllable verbs with two vowels do not double the consonant.
cook → cooked
