REGULAR AND IRREGULAR VERBS

This post discussed the properties of regular and irregular verbs as well as their usage

Regular Verb
Those verbs that form their past participle with ‘d’ or ‘ed’ are regular verbs. These verbs do not undergo substantial changes while changing forms between tenses.




  • If the verb ends with a vowel, only ‘d’ is added. For example:
    PRESENT TENSE
    PAST TENSE
    SHARE
    SHARED
    SCARE
    SCARED
    DARE
    DARED

  • If the verb ends with a consonant, ‘ed’ is added. For example:
    PRESENT TENSE
    PAST TENSE
    WANT
    WANTED
    SHOUT
    SHOUTED
    KILL
    KILLED

  • Irregular Verbs


    Those verbs that undergo substantial changes when changing forms between tenses are irregular verbs. The changed forms of these verbs are often unrecognizable different from the originals. For example:
    PRESENT TENSE
    PAST TENSE
    Go
    Went
    Run
    Ran
    Think
    Thought
