This document discusses regular and irregular verbs in the simple past tense. It explains that regular verbs form the past tense by adding "-ed" while irregular verbs do not follow a set pattern and must be memorized. It provides examples of regular verbs like "played" and irregular verbs like "gave". The document also notes that the verb "to be" is irregular and forms negatives differently by using "was/were not". Finally, it indicates that the simple past tense is used to talk about completed actions in the past and provides time expressions that are commonly used with the past tense.
