Grammar
How do we make the Simple Past Tense sentences?

Or
Auxiliary did + base form

Here  you can see examples of the past form and base form for irregular verbs and regular verbs:
V1
base
V2
past
V3
past participle
description
Regular verb work
explode
like 		worked
exploded

exploded
liked 		The past form for all regular verbs ends in –ed.
Irregular verb go
see
sing 		went
saw
sang 		gone
