here are the some information about regular and irregular verb
Irregular Verbs
Irregular verbs are an important feature of English. We use irregular verbs a lot when speaking, less when writing. Of course, the most famous English verb of all, the verb "to be", is irregular.
What is the difference between regular verbs and irregular verbs?
Base Form | Past Simple | Past Participle | |
With regular verbs, the rule is simple... | |||
The past simple and past participle always end in -ed: | finish | finished | finished |
stop | stopped | stopped | |
work | worked | worked | |
But with irregular verbs, there is no rule... | |||
Sometimes the verb changes completely: | sing | sang | sung |
Sometimes there is "half" a change: | buy | bought | bought |
Sometimes there is no change: | cut | cut | cut |
One good way to learn irregular verbs is to try sorting them into groups, as above.
Regular Verbs
English regular verbs change their form very little (unlike irregular verbs). The past tense and past participle of regular verbs end in -ed, for example:work, worked, workedBut you should note the following points:
1. Some verbs can be both regular and irregular, for example:
learn, learned, learned2. Some verbs change their meaning depending on whether they are regular or irregular, for example "to hang":
