Irregular verbs with Examples

Irregular verbs

Irregular verbs are the words that do not end with ed in case of past tense. The complexity in the conversion process from the present tense to the past tense is higher than the general words. An example that can be considered for irregular verbs are go and catch. In both cases, the past tense of these words does not end with ed. Both the words have an alternative form of their respective past tense. In the case of the irregular verb, the main concern that is to be considered is that they follow a different pattern from the regular words. As per the law, they have different spellings that are not linked with the initial word. As in the case, the catch is an irregular verb. The past tense that t has is caught. Here has been the major difference between the regular verbs and irregular verbs. As per the tenses, it can be stated that there is no change in form in the time of present tense but there is a marked change that is noticed when the present tense is translated in the past tense.

Examples of irregular verbs

Go, Get, Say, See, Think, Make, Take, Come, Know

From the above examples it can be seen that go will become went, get will become got, say will become said, see will become saw, think will become thought, make will become made, take will become took, come will become came and know will become knew. These are the past tense of the words that are stated above. As it is seen that no ed is added at the end of the irregular verbs during the conversation to the past tense.

    Rys, are you talking about these three forms?

     

    • Oi, shah....not exactly the ones having the same form in all three cases - present, past and past participle. I had in mind ALL irregular verbs, which to my reckonning should be learnt in threesome, so to say, right from the beginning and not just the two first and then worry about the past participle on a later, more offhand situation.

       

  • Oi there, folks

        My non-academic magister instructed his adolescent class to learn all three forms of the irregulars along wid da past participle, oddly enough he argumented that there is no sense in learning only the two first forms of the irregular verb than rake one's brain to unearth the third form... making a goof of oneself in da meantime! .... ;-)

    • I couldn't agree more, Rys.

      To learn past participle then one will have to start from the very beginning?  

    • HI,

      If you think, something is missing. Please add in comment.

      Thanks!

    • Lol, if according to your conversation nothing is missing, then no problem, all's fine and shine.
