Verbs - Irregular

This lesson is on irregular verbs even though the verbs are irregular the present participle of irregular verbs A syllable usually formed by adding I N G

it’s the past tense and past participle that make these verbs irregular as this is the case we will just concentrate on the past tense and past participle here are many irregular verbs have the same form for both and others have different forms for each and even some irregular verbs have the same base name past tense and past participle and irregular verbs can also differ in the first person singular present tense and we will see examples of all of these many irregular verbs have the same form for both the past tense and past participle.

These are just some examples there are more so I won’t go through and read all of these.

Let’s pause the video if you want to to check them out but we’ll see that for instance Bend has the past tense and past participle of bent.

And usually when you’re doing verbs you will give them in this order is a bend bent bent breed bred bred to show base form past tense past participle and other irregular verbs have different forms for the past tense and past participle and again these are just some examples there are many more so have eat eat and eaten saw sought and Soren and again you might want to pause the video if you want to just have a look.

All of them

and other irregular verbs have the same form for the base past tense and past participle and again just some examples of this there are others so here we see the base form with the past tense in the past participle for these verbs as examples where they’re all the same a most irregular verbs still obey this add s rule to the third person singular when forming the present tense the AI we use a bend he bends AI we u they seek he seeks

I will you.

They eat.

She eats and I we you or they throw she throws.

I we you.

They let it.

Let’s and I we.

You are they.

Cut it.

Cuts and all of these six examples are ones that we saw in the irregular verb block but they still behave regularly in the present tense and this is usually the case how of course we have some verbs that do not obey this rule and it will fail for the third person singular the he she or it part and these are the verbs to have to do and to go for to have we have I we you and they have.

That’s as it expect but he has not he has or I we you.

They do.

She does and not does without the E and similarly with the verb to go again we have it goes with E S and not just geo s

and this also applies to variations of these verbs so to forego to undo had undo it would be I we you they undo she undoes.

and then we have the mother of all irregular verbs to be and it is almost a regular in every single aspect of the verb.

fortunately this is the first verb you learn and so you tend to get it right from the start which is a good idea though the present tense I am in the past tense I was he she it is or he she it was we you they are we you they were in the past tense all very irregular strangely enough the present participle is being that is regular that’s it past participle is been.
