It's formed by: verb + -ed (at the end of the word), but it have an exception, the irregular verbs.

We use the past simple for actions or situations in the past now finished.
Ex: I played football this morning.

In some of them it's normally that it goes with an adverb of time.
Ex:I went to see my grandparents the last saturday.

Express a normally action in the past.
Ex:He always wathed tv at night.

Sometimes it can express an improbable condition
Ex:If I bought the pen, now I can write with it.

Some verbs are iregular; it doesn't finished with -ed.
Those verbs haven't got any rule, we have to learn it.
And it cahnges the word in the past and in the present perfect.

find- found - found
Ex: I bought a new red car.
