What are irregular verbs?
A regular verb shows the past
with a –d or –ed ending.
Ex:
Today I present my new menu.
I presented the previous menu last
March.
Irregular verbs do not take
the –d or –ed ending.
They are changed in various
other ways to indicate past
tense.
Examples
Regular
believe → believed
smile → smiled
Irregular
run → ran
eat → ate
An irregular verb forms its past
and past participle by
• changing vowels (run-- ran) or
consonants (build– built)
• or by changing vowels and
consonants (catch – caught)
• or by making no changes (burst,
cost)
