Hello there! Great question. The past tense of "eat" is "ate." So, if someone asks you what you had for breakfast this morning, you could say, "I ate a bowl of cereal."
Think of it this way: just like you change the ending of a word to make it plural (for example, "cat" to "cats"), you also change the ending to show that an action happened in the past. In the case of "eat," you change the "e" to "a" and add a "t" to show that the action of eating happened in the past.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other language questions.
