Broken is a past participle verb therefore can not be used in the past simple tense. You could use it in the past passive like:

The lamp was broken by the boy.

This is a past passive sentence.

Otherwise, verb 3 can not be used in a past simple sentence structure.

Another way to use broken is as an adjective.

The broken vase laid on the floor.
