E como se forma o passado dos verbos regulares?

 Com os verbos regulares é bastante mais fácil! Acrescenta-se –ed ao infinitivo do

verbo. o E.g. Help---» helped; like ---»liked; watch---»watched.

 No caso de verbos como like, que já terminam em –e, não vamos acrescentar –ed, mas
sim –d, para evitar duas vogais seguidas!

 No caso de verbos terminados em Y:

1) Apenas se acrescenta -ed quando o Y é precedido de vogal:

Eg.: play ---» played

2) O Y passa a i e acrescenta-se -ed quando o Y é precedido de consoante:

Eg.: study ---» studied
