Past simple- is used for past actions that happened either at a specific time, which can either be given by a time phrase (yesterday, last year, last week etc.) or understood from the context. 

Regular Verbs add -ed to the base form, or -d if the verbs ends with -e:

Walk- walked        Jump- jumped       Cook- cooked        Watch- watched  

Irregular verbs do not follow rules. Here are examples of a few:

Swim- swam       Eat- ate       Drink- drank      Do- did       Speak- spoke       Was- were
