Exploring Irregular Verbs

Welcome to the exciting world of irregular verbs! In this chapter, we will dive deep into what irregular verbs are, how they differ from regular verbs, and some common examples to help you master them.

What are Irregular Verbs?

Verbs are words that show action or a state of being. Regular verbs follow a predictable pattern when conjugated into different tenses. However, irregular verbs do not follow this pattern and change in unique ways. This can make them a bit tricky to learn, but with practice, you’ll become a pro!

Past Tense Changes

One of the key characteristics of irregular verbs is how they change in the past tense. Unlike regular verbs that often just add “-ed” to form the past tense, irregular verbs change in different ways. For example, the verb “go” becomes “went” in the past tense instead of “goed.”

Common Irregular Verbs

Let’s take a look at some common irregular verbs and their past tense forms:

1. be: I am, You are, He/She/It is
2. have: I have, You have, He/She/It has
3. do: I do, You do, He/She/It does
4. go: I go, You go, He/She/It goes
5. eat: I eat, You eat, He/She/It eats
