Como ves, conjugados en pasado, algunos verbos terminan con "ed" y otros terminan con diferentes letras.

A los que terminan con "ed" se les llama regulares y a los otros irregulares.

No existe una regla que nos pueda indicar cual es cual, por lo tanto debemos memorizarlos. Una recomendación es primero memorizar todos los irregulares y sus formas.
