Answer :

To classify the given verbs into their corresponding Past Simple forms, we need to consider the rules for forming the past tense of regular verbs.

1. Verbs ending in “e”: Simply add -d to form the past simple.
2. Verbs not ending in “e”, “y”, or a single vowel followed by a single consonant: Add -ed to form the past simple.
3. Verbs ending in “y” preceded by a consonant: Change “y” to “i” and add -ed.
4. Verbs ending with a single vowel followed by a single consonant and the verb is stressed: Double the consonant and add -ed.

Let’s classify the verbs accordingly:

- Given verbs list: play, hate, wash, climb, live, arrive, talk, look, stay, ask, clean.

### 1. Verbs ending in "e": Add -d
- hate → hated
- live → lived
- arrive → arrived

### 2. Verbs not ending in "e", "y", or fitting the double consonant rule: Add -ed
- wash → washed
- climb → climbed
- talk → talked
- look → looked
- ask → asked
- clean → cleaned

### 3. Verbs ending in “y” after a consonant: Change “y” to “i” and add -ed
- play → played (However, "play" ends in -y and not after a consonant consonant, so we just add -ed → played)
- stay → stayed (this also applies to staying, so stayed)

Since the Python solution does not appear to include past_double_cons_ed verbs and there are no verbs fitting the double consonant rule in the listed verbs, we move on.

Given the results, we fill in the table as follows:

[tex]\[ \begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|} \hline \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{-d } & \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{ -ed } & \begin{tabular}{c} cons $+ y$ \\ -ied \end{tabular} & \begin{tabular}{c} double cons \\ +-ed \end{tabular} \\ \hline hate, live, arrive & wash, climb, talk, look, ask, clean & play, stay & \\ \hline \end{tabular} \][/tex]

This table organizes the given verbs into their corresponding Past Simple forms based on the described rules.
