Regular and Irregular Verbs

Kata kerja atau verba akan mengalami perubahan bentuk sesuai dengan tenses dalam kalimat.
Ada dua jenis perubahan bentuk kata kerja yaitu regular verbs (kata kerja teratur) dan irregular

verbs (kata kerja tidak teratur).

Perubahan kata kerja dalam suatu kalimat tergantung dari tenses yang digunakan. Hal ini akan
menentukan apakah nanti yang dipakai adalah kata kerja bentuk pertama atau dasar (base verb),
bentuk kedua (past) atau bentuk ketiga (past participle).
Contoh regular verb:
V1
Work
Talk
Want
Help
ask

V2
worked
talked
wanted
helped
asked

V3
worked
talked
wanted
helped
asked

Contoh irregular verb:

V1
Do
Eat
See
Buy
Sing

V2
did
ate
saw
bought
sang

V3
done
eaten
seen
bought
sung

Kata kerja teratur (regular verbs) adalah kata kerja yang bentuk kedua (past) dan ketiganya (past
participle) ditambah dengan akhiran ed. Atau jika kata kerja itu berakhiran dengan huruf e
maka tinggal ditambah akhiran d saja.
Sedangkan kata kerja tidak teratur (irregular verbs) adalah kata kerja yang bentuk kedua dan
ketiganya berubah atau sama sekali tidak berubah. Kata kerja ini tidak memerlukan penambahan
ed atau d pada akhir kata.
Bentuk irregular verbs dibagi menjadi tiga kelompok sebagai berikut.
(1) Kata kerja yang bentuk kedua dan ketiganya tidak berubah dari bentuk pertamanya, misalnya
kata bet, bid, cut, dan hurt, bentuk keduanya dan ketiganya juga bet, bid, cut, dan hurt.
(2) Kata kerja yang bentuk kedua dan ketiganya sama tetapi berbeda dengan bentuk pertamanya,
misalnya kata bleed, bentuk kedua dan ketiganya adalah bled, dan kata cling bentuk kedua dan
ketiganya adalah clung.
(3) Kata kerja yang bentuk pertama, bentuk kedua, dan bentuk ketiganya tidak sama. Sebagai
contoh misalnya take menjadi bentuk keduanya took dan bentuk ketiganya taken, arise bentuk
keduanya arose dan bentuk ketiganya arisen, dan sebagainya.
