The Simple Past Of Irregular Verbs

A verb that does not follow the -ed rule is called an irregular verb. The simple past of irregular verbs has different forms.

For example, the verbs “was, wrote” are irregular past forms. “Was” is the simple past of “to be,” and “wrote” is the simple past of “write.”

There is no rule for these verbs; you should learn them by heart.
