Для этого нужно знать формы глаголов в Past Simple. Большинство глаголов образуют Past Simple путем добавления окончания -ed к основной форме глагола (например, *switch* - *switched*). Однако есть и неправильные глаголы, формы которых нужно запомнить (например, *begin* - *began*, *get* - *got*, *take* - *took*, *have* - *had*, *leave* - *left*).
