Introduction
WELCOME STUDENTS! 👋
As you know, we have been learning irregular verbs in class. But what exactly are they?
First of all, we know what the simple past is:
- The simple past is the basic form of the past tense in English grammar, we use it for: actions that happened once or repeatedly in the past. At the end of the verb, you add +ied, +ed or +d.
Some examples are:
| verb | +ied | +ed | +d |
|---|---|---|---|
| play | ------ | played | ---------- |
| jump | ------ | jumped | ---------- |
| cry | cried | ---------- | ---------- |
| phone | ------ | ---------- | phoned |
However, irregular verbs are a little bit different:
- Irregular verbs are verbs that do not follow the normal patterns for tense and past participle. This means that these verbs are somewhat changed. While most English regular verbs use the ending “+ied, +ed or +d” for the past tense and participle forms, irregular verbs each have their own unique tense forms
Some examples are:
| verb | past tense |
|---|---|
| sing | sang |
| sell | sold |
| send | sent |
| see | saw |
