What are the two classifications for verbs that identify way they form past tense and participle?

The two classifications for verbs that identify how they form the past tense and past participle are:

* 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.
