This document provides instruction on forming the past tense of verbs in English. It explains that regular verbs are made past tense by adding "ed" to the base verb. For verbs ending in "e", the "e" is dropped before adding "ed". Examples are provided of changing common verbs like "walk", "jump", "watch" and "save" into their past tense forms. The reader is guided through interactive exercises to practice applying these rules for forming the past tense of regular verbs in English.
