What are the verbs called when their past tense end in ed or t?

Verbs that form their past tense by adding "-ed" or "-t" are called regular verbs.

Here's a breakdown:

* -ed endings: These are the most common. Examples include:

* walk - walked

* play - played

* jump - jumped

* -t endings: This ending is only used for verbs whose base form ends in a consonant followed by a "y". Examples include:

* try - tried

* carry - carried

* cry - cried

Important Note: Not all verbs follow this pattern. Verbs that don't are called irregular verbs. These verbs have unique past tense forms that must be memorized. Examples include:

* go - went

* see - saw

* eat - ate
