Can you add the ed suffix to any verb?

No. Although most verbs form a past tense or adjective by adding -ed, some verbs have irregular tenses. The verb to be has irregular past tenses (was were) in addition to irregular present tenses (am, is, are).There are other verbs that have special forms of the past tense. For example, if you read an assignment yesterday, you do not say "I readed the assignment," you say "I read the assignment." Likewise, if you saw your brother yesterday, you don't say "I see-ed my brother," you say "I saw him." And if you worked on a paper yesterday, you would not say "I doed my paper," you would say "I did it." While you "think" today, you "thought" yesterday.However, for most other verbs, adding "ed" will properly turn the verb into the past tense form.

What are all of the irregular verbs?

Irregular verbs are verbs that do not follow the standard rules of conjugation in a language. In English, some common irregular verbs include "be," "go," "have," "do," "say," and "come." These verbs have unique past tense and past participle forms that do not end in "-ed."

What is the proper past tense for the word by?

The word "by" is not a verb (action word), it's a preposition (it describessomething's position in relation to something else); because of this, it has no past tense. Only verbs have past tenses.Example: You could say "I go to the store by my house."but you could also say "I went to the store by my house."The first sentence is in the present tense, while the second sentence is in the past tense. In both sentences, the word "by" doesn't change, because it is used to describe the store's location in relation to the house. The word "by" performs no action on "I".In short, "by" has no past tense, because it performs no action in the sentence.

Why do you conjugate verbs in Spanish?

Because that's the nature of Spanish; its roots from Latin. The reason for conjugation is simply to make the sentence make sense. In English we automatically have our verbs match our sentence without even thinking about it. In spanish though, you have to change the verb to fit the number of people you are talking about, and to fit the tense. For instance you wouldn't say "I buy that book last week" you would say "I BOUGHT that book last week"
