What are irregular verbs?

What are irregular verbs?

Irregular verbs are common verbs in english language that you need to memmorize in order to make correct sentences. There are three basic tenses that may help you understand the irregular verbs. 

The present tense of a verb stands alone and shows the present tense.

The past tense is used to represent the past events.

The past participle is used with the helping words have, has, and had to form perfect tenses.

Present perfect: 
I felt great today.

Past perfect:
I had felt great until recently.

Future perfect:
i will have felt great two days in a row after tomorrow.

Formative test

You will now make a test to check wether you have memmorized the irregular verbs. You can make the text untill you have every answer correct. Once you have passed the test with zero mistakes, you can go on to the enhanced questions.

Extra exercises

Now you have made the exercises to see wether you know the irregular verbs, you are ready to use those verbs in sentences. You will practice by putting the right tense of the irregular verbs in the sentence. Therefore you can use the explenation about irregular verbs given in the slide before. 

Use of irregular verbs

Present tense formation

In the present simple tense, the basic form of a regular verb only changes in the 3rd person singular, as follows:

Most verbs just add -s to the basic form (e.g. take/takes, seem/seems, look/looks).

 

Verbs that end with a vowel other than e add -es (e.g. go/goes, veto/vetoes, do/does).

 

Verbs that end with -s, -z, -ch, -sh, and -x add -es (e.g. kiss/kisses, fizz/fizzes, punch/punches, wash/washes, mix/mixes).

 

If the verb ends in a consonant plus -y, change the y to an i before adding -es (e.g. hurry/hurries, clarify/clarifies). But if the verb ends in a vowel plus -y, just add -s (e.g. play/plays, enjoy/enjoys).

 

Past tense formation

Forming the past simple tense of regular verbs is mostly straightforward, and you use the same form for the first, second, and third persons, singular and plural:

If the basic form of the verb ends in a consonant or a vowel other than e, add the letters -ed to the end (e.g. seem/seemed, laugh/laughed, look/looked).

 

For verbs that end in -e, add -d (e.g. love/loved, recede/receded, hope/hoped).

 

If the verb ends in a consonant plus -y, change the y to an i before adding -ed (e.g. hurry/hurried, clarify/clarified). But if the verb ends in a vowel plus -y, just add -ed (e.g. play/played, enjoy/enjoyed).

 

For more detail, see Verb tenses: adding-ed-and-ing.

 

Forming participles

To form the past participle of regular verbs, follow the same rules as for the past simple tense above.

 

To make the present participle of regular verbs:

If the basic form of the verb ends in a consonant or a vowel other than e, add the ending -ing (e.g. laugh/laughing, boo/booing).

 

If the verb ends in e, drop the e before adding -ing (e.g. love/loving, hope/hoping).

 

If the basic form ends in y just add -ing (e.g. hurry/hurrying, clarify/clarifying).

 

Endtest

You have finally made it to the end of this page. It is now time to test your knowledge about the irregular verbs.
