The simple past is used to talk about events that already happened. For most verbs, you just add -ed to the end of the verb - these are the regular verbs (ex. Today I cook pasta. Yesterday I cooked pasta). However, there are also some verbs that change a lot when we use them in the past - these are called irregular verbs (ex.: Today I go to school. Yesterday I went to school). You will need to memorize these verbs.
