* Regular verbs: These verbs form their past tense and past participle by adding -ed or -d to the base form. For example:
* walk -> walked (past tense) -> walked (past participle)
* play -> played (past tense) -> played (past participle)
* Irregular verbs: These verbs do not follow the regular pattern of adding -ed or -d. They have unique and often unpredictable forms for the past tense and past participle. For example:
* go -> went (past tense) -> gone (past participle)
* see -> saw (past tense) -> seen (past participle)
It's important to note that there are some verbs that are considered semi-regular or irregular-regular. These verbs have both a regular and irregular form, and the usage often depends on context or dialect. For example:
* get -> got (past tense) -> gotten (past participle)
* dive -> dived (past tense) -> dived/dove (past participle)
Understanding the classification of verbs can help you determine their correct form in various tenses.
