You use the past tense in speech and writing and communication when referring to an event or action that had previously happened, something that had happened in the past. There are many rules and exceptions for translating verbs and other action words into the past tense. Most oftenly, it involved adding and "ed" at the end of the word. For example, jump turns to jumped. Excpetions are like how run turns to ran, and swing turns to swung.
