Principal parts

A regular English verb has only one principal part, from which all the forms of the verb can be
derived. This is the base form or dictionary form. For example, from the base form exist, all the
inflected forms of the verb (exist, exists, existed, existing) can be predictably derived. The base
form is also called the bare infinitive; that is, the infinitive without the to.

Most irregular verbs have three principal parts, since the simple past and past participle are
unpredictable. For example, the verb write has the principal parts write (base form), wrote (past),
and written (past participle); the remaining inflected forms (writes, writing) are derived regularly
from the base form. Note that some irregular verbs have identical past tense and past participle
forms (as the regular verbs do), as with send–sent–sent.

The infinitive, simple past and past participle are sometimes referred to as First (V1), Second
(V2) and Third (V3) form of a verb, respectively. This naming convention has all but
disappeared from American and British usage, but still can be found in textbooks and teaching
materials used in other countries.[1][2][3][4]

Many speakers have only two forms, collapsing the distinction between V2 and V3, though this
is considered non-standard. For most verbs the forms are V1 and V2 (have they went yet?, with
'gone' never being used, or a corporate-ran company rather than corporate-run), but for a few
verbs they are V1 and V3 (I seen it, he done it, with 'saw' and 'did' not being used).
