B) PAST SIMPLE:

The past tense, presents two forms:

a) Regular Verbs: In this verbs, we form the past tense adding the end "-ed" to the verb

Examples:
                  Present         Past                                      Present       Past

                  want             wanted                                 collect         collected
    
                  listen             listened                                watch          watched

                  play              played                                  jump           jumped

The participle is always the same that the past in the regular verbs.

b) Irregular Verbs: In this vebs, there isn't a rule to form the past tense. We have to learn it by heart.

Examples:

           Present           Past         Participle                         Present         Past            Participle

           have               had          had                                  come            came           come

           eat                 ate           eaten                                drink             drank          drunk

           forget             forgot      forgotten                           buy               bought         bought            


AFFIRMATIVE FORM:  

                                    Subject + Verb (in the past) + Complements

It's the same structure for regular and irregular verbs. Examples:

NEGATIVE FORM:

                                  Subject + didn't + Verb (in present) + Complements

It's the same structure for regular and irregular verbs. Examples:

INTERROGATIVE FORM:

                                      Did + Subject + Verb (in present)+ Complements

It's the same structure for regular and irregular verbs. Examples: 

                   Questions                                                             Answers
