For example:
                                 I ran 5 kilometers yesterday.
                                 Did you visit Paris last year??
                                 Where did you sleep last night?
                                 Was he bored with the meeting?

In the case of the verb "be" we just do the following:
                                am/is  >>>  was
                                are >>>   were

Now we are going to talk about regular verbs. We take a base form verb and the next step is just adding -ed at the end of it. For example:
                                      Kill >>>Killed
                                      Stop >>>Stopped
                                      Play >>> Played

However, there are some spelling rules in order to form regular verbs. Those are the following:
  • Add -d  when the verb ends in -e.  
                                      Eg: escape>> escaped
  • Add -ed when the verb ends in a vowel+ consonant, or a vowel + -y.
                                      Eg: plan >>> planned
                                      Eg: enjoy >>> enjoyed
  • Add -ied when the verb ends in a consonant+ y. Take off the -y and add the -ied ending.
                                      Eg: carry >>> carried

Besides spelling rules, there are pronunciation rules as well. Let's watch the video which explain all them.
