The rules of the simple past tense forms:

Here are the rules:

1. Regular verbs ending in a silent e take /-d/ in the simple past and past participle:
   Example:
   close=closed
2. Regular verbs ending in a vowel + y take /-ed/ in the simple past and past participle:
   Example:
   play=played
3. Regular verbs ending in a consonant + y take /-ied/ in the simple past and past participle (the ' y' becomes an ' i' followed by /-ed/)
   Example:
   marry=married
4. All the other regular verbs take /-ed/ in the simple past and past participle.
   Example:
   visit=visited
5. If there is a consonant after a stressed vowel at the end of the word, double the consonant
   stop – stoppedban - banned
   swap - swapped
6. If the vowel is not stressed, we do not double it:
   open - opened (Here the stress is on'o', not the 'e'.)
   offer - offered ( Here the stress is on 'o', not the 'e'.)
