The document outlines the rules for forming the past simple tense of regular verbs in English. It explains that the past simple is formed by adding "-ed" to the infinitive, except for verbs ending in "e", which add "d", and verbs ending in a consonant before "y", which change "y" to "ied". It also notes that verbs ending in a vowel before a consonant usually double the final consonant when adding "-ed". Several examples are provided to illustrate each rule.
