200 Irregular Verbs List
Irregular verbs do not follow the standard pattern of adding -ed to form their past tense and past participle. Instead, they have unique forms. 🚫📚
The three forms of an irregular verb are:
1. Base form (e.g., go)
2. Past tense (e.g., went)
3. Past participle (e.g., gone)
While irregular verbs don’t follow a strict pattern, some verbs share similar changes:
– Vowel changes: sing → sang → sung.
– Same form: put → put → put.
Irregular verbs are used in all tenses ⏰, and the correct form must be chosen based on the time or context of the sentence. 📝
One of the best ways to learn irregular verbs is to memorize them in groups or practice them in context, such as through sentences or stories 📖.
