The simple past tense indicates an action that began and ended in the past. The past tense of regular verbs is formed by adding -ed at the end of the base verb.

Few examples are:

The dog barked at the mailman.
I cleaned my room.
I folded the laundry.
She mopped the floor.
I worked hard.

In all these sentences the verbs are in the past tense. In order to show that we have already done something, we add the letters -ed at the end of a verb.
