Regular verbs - endings
For regular verbs, we usually add “ed” at the end of the verb to form past simple.
However, sometimes we add “d” or “ied”:
1)We add “d” when the verb ends in letter “e”.
E.g. love-loved; like-liked.

2) We add “ied” when the verb ends in “y” but there is a consonant before it.
E.g. study-studied; carry-carried
If there is a vowel before “y”, then we just add “ed”: play-played

3) We double the last consonant when there is a one syllable verb and the last 3 letters
are: consonant+vowel+consonant E.g.: stop-stopped; plan-planned
