    ➢ VERBS: They are divided into two groups.

    a) Regular verbs: Regular verbs are verbs in the English language that
    follow a consistent pattern when forming their past tense and past
    participle forms. These verbs typically add "-ed", “-ied”, “-d” to the
    base form (also known as the infinitive) to create the past tense and
    past participle forms.

    Examples:

    Start ➱ started
    June 26 th, 2023

    Study ➱studied
    Finish ➱finished
    Paint ➱painted
    Play ➱played
    Call ➱called
    Work ➱worked
    Walk ➱walked
    Save➱ saved

    b) Irregular verbs: Irregular verbs are verbs that do not follow the regular
    conjugation patterns in English. Unlike regular verbs, which typically
    add "- ed", “-ied”, “-d” to form the past tense and past participle,
    irregular verbs undergo various changes in their base form, past tense,
    and past participle forms.

    Examples:

    Write ➱ wrote
    Eat ➱ ate
    Sing ➱ sang
    Read ➱ read
