Irregular verbs in simple past tense - exercise

It's easy to learn the past tense form for many verbs--just add "ed" at the end. However, there are many verbs which are irregular. One cannot simply add "ed." Since irregular verbs are quite common in English, it's important to learn the simple past tense form of these verbs. There's no simple "rule" or pattern for these verbs, so, unfortunately, ESL students must learn each one individually.
