The document discusses rules for forming the past tense of regular verbs in English. It states that most regular verbs form the simple past tense by adding "ed", and verbs ending in a consonant before "y" change the "y" to "ied". It also notes that regular one-syllable verbs ending in a consonant-vowel-consonant pattern double the final consonant before adding "ed". The document provides examples of regular verbs conjugated in the simple past tense to demonstrate these rules.
