English Past Tense: How to Form the Past Tense in English

In English, the past tense is typically formed by using the past tense form of the verb. The past tense form can be created by adding '-ed' to the end of the verb (for most verbs) or by changing the spelling of the verb (for some irregular verbs). For example, the past tense of the verb 'play' is 'played' and the past tense of the verb 'go' is 'went'.
