Tenses
The difference between regular and irregular verb will be explained below:
A regular verb is a verb that forms its past tense and past participle by adding -d or -ed to the base form[1] as shown in the above picture.
Irregular verbs are common verbs in the English language that do not follow the simple system of adding “d” or “ed” to the end of the word to form the past tense[2].
Besides the example given above, more examples of irregular verbs are:
I sing I sang I will sing |
I feel I felt I will feel |
I go I went I will go |
