How do you get the past participle of an regular verb?

To get the past participle of a regular verb in English, you need to add the suffix "-ed" to the infinitive form of the verb.

Here are some examples:

* Walk - walked

* Talk - talked

* Play - played

* Run - ran

* Jump - jumped

For verbs that end in a consonant + "y," you need to change the "y" to "i" before adding the "-ed" suffix.

Here are some examples:

* Cry - cried

* Try - tried

* Carry - carried

For verbs that end in a vowel + "y," you can simply add the "-ed" suffix.

Here are some examples:

* Play - played

* Stay - stayed

* Pay - paid

There are a few irregular verbs in English that do not follow these rules. The past participle of these verbs needs to be memorized.

Here are some examples of irregular verbs:

* Be - been

* Have - had

* Do - done

* Go - gone

* See - seen
