50. Common English Irregular Verbs 4a1v5z

Common English irregular verbs In English, regular verbs consist of three main parts: a. the root form (present), b. the (simple) past, c. and the past participle. Regular verbs have an -ed ending added to the root verb for both the simple past and past participle. Irregular verbs do not follow this pattern, and instead take on an alternative pattern. The following is a partial list of irregular verbs found in English (only 163 out of around 370). Each listing verb consists of the present/root form of the verb, the (simple) past form of the verb, and the past participle form of the verb.
