About This Product

What are Irregular Verbs?

Irregular verbs are verbs that do not follow the standard rules of conjugation in English. Unlike regular verbs, which form the past simple and past participle by adding “-ed” (e.g., walk -> walked), irregular verbs change in unique ways.

Why Do We Use Irregular Verbs?

Irregular verbs are deeply rooted in the English language, often because of their origins in Old English or other Germanic languages. They are commonly used, and knowing them helps speakers sound more fluent and natural.

Irregular Verb Forms

In English, verbs can have three main forms:

  • Base Form: The root form of the verb (e.g., go, see, buy)

  • Past Simple: The form used for past events (e.g., went, saw, bought)

  • Past Participle: The form used in perfect tenses and the passive voice (e.g., gone, seen, bought)

Understanding these forms is essential for forming correct sentences in past and perfect tenses. This ebook will help you and your students with that.
