To use the past simple tense, you typically conjugate regular verbs by adding "-ed" to the base form of the verb.

For example:

- I worked hard yesterday.

- She played tennis last weekend.

For irregular verbs, the past simple forms vary and are not formed by adding "-ed."

For instance:

- He ate dinner at 6 PM.

- They went to the beach last summer.

Remember to adjust the verb form according to the subject and to use the appropriate auxiliary verbs (did/didn't) for questions and negative sentences in the past simple tense.
