Verbos Irregulares
Los verbos irregulares no siguen ninguna regla típica al momento de
conjugarlos, como los regulares con las terminaciones “ed”, “d” e “ied”.
Los irregulares pueden tener la misma escritura en pasado simple y
pasado participio a la que tiene el infinitivo, o cambiar en alguna de ellas
de forma poco usual.
