past tense and past participle of the regular verb "walk," while "went" is the past tense of

How to write a sentence with present forms of verb.
1. Identify the subject of the sentence. The subject is the noun or pronoun that performs
the action or is described in the sentence.
2. Determine the tense of the sentence. If you are writing a sentence about something
that is happening now or is habitual, you will use the present tense.
3. Choose the appropriate verb form. In the present tense, verbs typically have an "-s"
or "-es" added to them when the subject is third person singular (he, she, it).
4. Conjugate the verb to match the subject. This means changing the verb form to
match the subject of the sentence. For example, "I walk" is correct, but "he walk" is
incorrect. Instead, you would say "he walks."
5. Add any necessary words or phrases to complete the sentence. This might include
objects, adjectives, adverbs, or prepositions, depending on the meaning you want to
convey.
6. Proofread your sentence to ensure that it is grammatically correct and makes sense.
