Explicații:
Verbele de mai sus sunt neregulate (nu urmează o regulă clară la construirea
formelor 1,2 și 3).
(Verbele regulate – cele care se construiesc conform unei reguli - sunt mult mai
drăgălașe: doar adaugă ED la codiță pentru formele 2 și 3.
(de exemplu: work – worked – worked sau jump – jumped - jumped).
Mititelele, sunt mult mai ordonate decât verbele neregulate…Of, of… 

Formele 1,2 și 3 ale verbelor (fie regulate, fie neregulate) se folosesc în

următoarele situații:

Forma 1
I. La prezent:
I am writing my homework now. (Present Continuous)
I always write my homework carefully. (Present Simple)
II. La viitor:
You will help me tomorrow, right? (Future Simple)
III. În situații cu love/like/enjoy/hate etc.
We love learning English.
IV. În alte situații, pe care le vom învăța mai încolo… 

Forma 2 – doar la trecutul simplu, cel folosit în povești:

Snow White looked at the seven dwarves, smiled and
began telling them the story of her life.

Forma 3
I. La anumite forme de prezent sau trecut
We have already eaten all the apples. (Present Perfect – îl
vom învăța )
Grannie had already begun cooking when the kids arrived
home. (Past Perfect – îl vom învăța )
II. În construcții modale (nu am învățat această denumire, dar
tipul acesta de structuri vă este cunoscut din texte/din
filme).
My friend could have helped me, but he refused to…
We should have told you the truth, but we were afraid.
They may have finished their homework (I am not sure of
that).
