You know there are two groups of verbs when we study the
simple past: REGULAR and IRREGULAR verbs. We will talk about REGULAR VERBS on the first place.
When we study the past simple of the regular verbs we have to study the SPELLING and the PRONUNCIATION very carefully. Before practising, you can study the rules you need about these two aspects if you click on the following link:
past simple-spelling and pronunciation rules.doc
You need to practise all this:
SPELLING
Here you are some pages where you can do some exercises online and check if they are right! (Aquí tenéis algunas páginas donde podéis hacer algunos ejercicios online y comprobar solos si están bien!)

Exercise 3 (personal information and past simple)
Exercise 4 (write sentences in the past)
Exercise 5

PRONUNCIATION
You need to listen how the ending -ed is pronounced, so here you are a web page to do so: pronunciation of -ed. This is quite difficult to do, but if you practise a lot it will be easier. Here you are two pages where you can practise the pronunciation of the ending -ed.
1 Listen and choose how the past ending -ed is pronounced (cómo se pronuncia la terminación de pasado -ed)
2 Listen and choose if the pronunciation is correct or wrong.
