When we talk about the past tense, we are referring to an action that has already happened in the past. Just like when you cook a pot of pasta and it reaches a rolling boil, that's when the magic happens! So if you want to talk about that pasta after it has been cooked, you would say, "I boiled the pasta last night."
In English, forming the past tense can sometimes be straightforward, like adding "ed" to the end of a regular verb. However, it's important to note that not all verbs follow this rule. "Boil" is an irregular verb, so its past tense form is a little different.
Remember, irregular verbs like "boil" have their own unique way of forming the past tense. So don't be surprised if you come across more of these verbs in your language journey.
