Answer:

To change the tense of the sentence "The boat sailed yesterday" from simple present tense to simple past tense, here are three examples:

1. The boat sails today. (Simple Present Tense)

The boat sailed yesterday. (Simple Past Tense)

2. The boat usually sails in the morning. (Simple Present Tense)

The boat sailed yesterday. (Simple Past Tense)

3. The boat sails every weekend. (Simple Present Tense)

The boat sailed yesterday. (Simple Past Tense)

In these examples, we see the transformation from simple present tense to simple past tense by changing the verb "sails" to "sailed" to indicate that the action of the boat sailing occurred in the past, specifically yesterday.

By providing multiple examples, we can see that regardless of the specific context or time reference in the present tense sentence, the verb "sailed" remains the same in the simple past tense to convey that the action happened in the past.
