8. PAST SIMPLE: REGULAR VERBS
 The Past Simple tense of the most English
verbs (regular verbs) is formed by adding "-ed"/"-
d" to their base form. (If the verb ends in "-e", we
add "-d" to form the past simple)
Examples:
 We arrived at 9:00 o'clock.
 My brother lived in London four years ago.
 When she was young, she danced beautifully.

9. SPELLING RULES
 If a regular verb ends
in consonant + y change y to i and add -ed:
carry - carried, study - studied, fry - fried,
try - tried
 If a one syllable regular verb ends
in consonant + vowel + consonant double the final
consonant and add -ed -- > stop - stopped, plan -
planned, rob - robbed, beg - begged
 If a regular verb has more than one syllable and ends
in consonant + vowel + consonant, we double the final
consonant only if the final syllable is stressed --
> preFER - preferred, regRET - regretted
