Use past simple when you are talking about something that happened in the past, something that is now finished.

How do you pluralize irregular verb?
We do not pluralize verbs; we pluralize nouns. But maybe you are asking how we use a verb which has a plural subject. The only time the verb would change would be in the present tense.
The subjects he, she, it and a singular noun are singular subjects, and the verb gets an -s at the end. He works, she works, it works, Mary works, the stove works.
The subject I, we, you , they, and plural nouns are plural subjects, so there is no -s at the end of the verb. I work, you work, they work, we work.
The irregular verbs are mostly irregular in the past tense, not in the present tense.
The few verbs that are irregular in the present tense are: to be, to do, and to go.
Memorize these.
To be: I am, you are, they are, we are, he is, she is, it is.
to do: I do, you do, they do, we do, he does, she does, it does.
to go: I go, you go, they go, we go, he goes, she goes, it goes.
In addition, modal verbs always stay the same through a tense.
For example, I can, you can, they can, we can, he can, she can, it can.
The modal verbs with their past tenses are: can/could, will/would, may/might, shall/should, must/must have and ought to/ought to have.
