Forming the past tense of regular verbs.

In Simple Past Tense you have to add (e)d after regular verbs.
Be careful!
To a regular verb that ends in e we only add d.
move moved
Y changes into i in the end of the regular verbs if there is a consonant before it.
try tried
The consonant doubles in the end of the regular verb, if it is a one-syllabled word
which is short if we pronounce it and if there is a vowel in front of the last letter
(consonant).
stop stopped
The l consonant doubles in the end of the regular verb.
travel travelled
