The past tense of the word "sweep" is "swept." Now, this is an example of an irregular verb because it doesn't end with 'ed' in its past tense. Many verbs in English follow a regular pattern, where you add 'ed' to the end of the verb, like 'walk' becomes 'walked'. But then there are these irregular verbs like 'sweep'. These little curveballs in the English language simply have to be remembered, much like riding a bike or strumming a guitar, it comes naturally with practice. I always say, mastering irregular verbs is like catching fireflies in a jar on a dark summer's eve - it may seem daunting at first, but with time, your jar (or, in this case, your vocabulary) will start to light up. Keep practicing!
