Regular Verbs and Irregular Verbs

Regular Verbs
A regular verb is a verb that follows this rule:

Past form of the verb = Present form of the verb + ed / d

For example, work is a regular verb because:
Past form of work = work + ed = worked
Dance is a regular verb too. That is because:
Past form of dance = dance + d = danced
We call the present form a base form (Infinitive), or V1 (Verb 1).
We call the past form Past Simple or V2 (Verb 2).
There is another form called Past Participle or V3 (Verb 3). That is the form that we
use in the Perfect Tenses.
