In most cases, the past tense is the same on both sides of the Atlantic. "I walked the dog" is correct in both, as is "I ran to school". One word which has different past tenses is Get, which in America has the past tenses Got or Gotten, but in Britain only has the past tense Got. For example:
Britain:
I get cold.
I got cold.
I would have got cold.
America:
I get warm.
I got warm.
I would have gotten warm.
One exception: in Britain we do say "Ill-gotten gains", not "Ill-got gains".
