IRREGULAR VERBS

 What are irregular verbs
Irregular verbs are verbs that do not follow the normal patterns for tense
and past participle. While most English regular verbs use the ending “-ed” for
the past tense and participle forms, irregular verbs have their own unique
tense forms and past participles. There are around 200 irregular verbs in
English, but many of them aren't commonly used.
