Are break and think examples of irregular verbs?

No, "break" and "think" are not examples of irregular verbs.

Here's why:

* Irregular verbs are verbs that do not follow the standard pattern of adding "-ed" to form the past tense and past participle. For example, "go" becomes "went" and "gone," not "goed" and "goed."

* "Break" follows the standard pattern:

* Present tense: break

* Past tense: broke

* Past participle: broken

* Present participle: breaking

* "Think" also follows the standard pattern:

* Present tense: think

* Past tense: thought

* Past participle: thought

* Present participle: thinking

Therefore, both "break" and "think" are regular verbs.
