Regular vs. Irregular Verbs:
Regular verbs follow a predictable pattern for forming their past tense and past participle. They usually add -ed to the base form.
Example:
* Base form: walk
* Past tense: walked
* Past participle: walked
Irregular verbs do not follow this pattern and have unique forms for past tense and past participle.
Example:
* Base form: go
* Past tense: went
* Past participle: gone
Here are some more examples:
Regular verbs:
* Base form: play
* Past tense: played
* Past participle: played
* Base form: jump
* Past tense: jumped
* Past participle: jumped
Irregular verbs:
* Base form: eat
* Past tense: ate
* Past participle: eaten
* Base form: see
* Past tense: saw
* Past participle: seen
Key takeaway:
* Regular verbs are easy to remember because they follow a set rule.
* Irregular verbs require memorization.
Note: There are many irregular verbs in English, and it's important to learn them to speak and write correctly. There are resources available online and in textbooks that list common irregular verbs.
