When completing dialogues or forming questions with past tense verbs, it's important to correctly form the past tense. For regular verbs, you typically add '-ed' at the end. However, for irregular verbs, you must memorize the correct past tense form. Remember to also frame questions correctly, often starting with an interrogative word when necessary and using 'did' for past tense questions.
