FORMACIN DEL "SIMPLE PAST" CON VERBOS REGULARES

En el caso de caso de los verbos regulares, se debe tener en cuenta que stos forman su pasado
aadiendo la terminacin ed. Cuando el verbo termine en la letra e, solamente agrega d, y en el
caso de los terminados en letra consonante + y, cambia por i + ed.
