-ed is added to the end of regular verbs to form the past tense. For example, the past tense of 'dance' is 'danced'. Irregular verbs do not follow a pattern to form their past tense form. You must simply learn the past tense of these verbs. For example, the past tense of 'see' is 'saw'.
The two classifications for verbs based on the way they form the past tense and past participle are regular and irregular verbs. Regular verbs form their past tense and past participle by adding "-ed" to the base form. In contrast, irregular verbs do not follow a standard pattern and have unique forms for the past tense and past participle.
There is no simple "trick" to forming the past tense of these verbs. Unlike regular verbs, the past tense of irregular verbs do not end in -ed. You must learn the list of irregular verbs and their respective past tenses.
All verbs have a past tense form and a past participle form.

Add -ed to the end of regular verbs to make the past tense form. Irregular verbs, however, do not take this form. There is no pattern to irregular verbs and you must simply learn their past tense forms. For example, the past tense of sing is sang and not singed*.
