Such are called regular verbs because that is the way that most English verbs change to the past tense. ( Verbs that form their past tense in other ways are irregular).
Oddly, many of the most commonly used verbs are irregular.
Verbs that end in "y" change the "y" to "i" before adding the "ed", but they are still considered to be regular.
As I said , most verbs are regular and form their past tense in the way. but some examples:
love -- past loved
like -- past like
carry -- past carried
cook -- past cooked
clean -- past cleaned
hurry - past hurried
wash - past washed
dress- past dressed
ask- past asked
wonder -- past wondered
travel -- past traveled.
