Irregular verbs are those whose past and participle tenses end in -d or -ed?

That's not quite right!

Irregular verbs are verbs that don't follow the standard pattern of adding -ed to the base form to create the past tense and past participle.

Here's a breakdown:

* Regular verbs follow the pattern:

* Base form: walk

* Past tense: walked

* Past participle: walked

* Irregular verbs have unique forms, often completely different from the base form:

* Base form: go

* Past tense: went

* Past participle: gone

So, the statement you gave describes regular verbs, not irregular ones.
