What Is a Regular
Verb?
A regular verb is a verb that follows a common pattern of conjugation. The past
tense of a regular verb is formed by adding an ‘ed’ or ‘d’ to the root verb and the
past participle form of the verb is the same as its past form.

How to Conjugate
Regular Verbs?
Regular verbs can be conjugated to form the simple past form and the past participle
forms. A regular verb can be made simple past by,
 adding an ‘ed’ to the end of the base form of the regular verb and doubling the last
consonant
 adding an ‘ed’ to the end of regular verbs – three or four lettered monosyllabic
words preceded and followed by consonants
 adding a ‘d’ to the end of the base form of the regular verb ending with an ‘e’
 removing ‘y’ and adding an ‘ied’ to the end of the base form of the regular verb
ending with a consonant and a ‘y’
