Verbos regulares
¿Cómo se forma el past simple y el past participle?
En los verbos regulares, se añade “-ed” o “-d” al verbo en infinitivo. Por ejemplo:
work worked
hope hoped

Consonantes dobles
En algunos casos se dobla la consonante final del verbo. Es debido a la pronunciación,
para evitar que al añadir la “e” tras una sola vocal y una sola consonante cambie el
sonido de la vocal anterior, como ocurre en hate (/heɪt/, odiar) frente a hat (/hæt/,
sombrero), o hope (/həʊˈp/, esperar) frente a hop (/hɒp/, dar saltos).

La manera de “proteger” el sonido de esas vocales cortas al formar el past simple es

doblar la consonante final del infinitivo. Así, al añadir “-ed”, hop /hɒp/ pasa a ser
hopped /hɒpt/, para diferenciarlo de hoped /həʊˈpt/.

este simpático vídeo de LearnEnglish Kids.

“Y” final
Cuando el verbo termina en “vocal + y”, se añade “-ed”:
play played
stay stayed

Pero cuando el verbo termina en “consonante + y”, la “y” se cambia por una “i”:
try tried
