To make the past tense of a regular verb, you just add 'ed' - jumped, walked, helped, remembered, gathered, borrowed, etc. etc. That's why they are called 'regular' verbs, because they follow that pattern.
With irregular verbs, the past tense takes a different form, but they are not all the same so you just have to learn each one.
The past tense of 'take' is not 'taked', it's 'took'
The past tense of 'bring' is not 'bringed', it's 'brought'
The past tense of 'catch' is not 'catched', it's 'caught'.
There is no set pattern, that's why they are called 'irregular verbs'.

Regular verbs are those which are conjugated using standard patterns, while irregular verbs have their own endings when you conjugate them, so you need to learn each one individually.
