Step-by-step explanation:

The Simple Past Tense is the basic form of the past tense in English. It is used to talk about an action completed at some point in the past. The said action can be in the recent past (e.g. ten minutes ago) or distant past (e.g. ten years ago), and it's not important how long it took to complete (e.g. a second or years).

Some verbs have a regular and some irregular form of the Simple Past Tense.

Regular: inifitive + -ed -> Past Simple Tense (e.g. play - played, cry - cried, love - loved, etc.)

Irregular forms simply have to be learned (e.g. be - was/were, forget - forgot, go - went, etc.)
