The document discusses irregular verbs and how they differ from regular verbs in the simple past tense. It provides examples of irregular verbs like "find" and "let" that do not take the "-ed" suffix in the past tense. It also notes that some verbs like "go" and "give" do not change form between the present and past tense. The document then explains that the simple past tense is used to describe a past action when the time of action is known, and provides examples of how to indicate both the past action and time of action in a sentence.
