WHAT ARE IRREGULAR

VERBS ?

Irregular verbs are those verbs

that do not end in -ed in the past
tense. Though their endings
differ from those of regular
verbs, irregular verbs rely on the
same auxiliary verbs to indicate
past, present, and future time.

Irregular verbs have

three principal parts:
Principal Parts
of Irregular
Verbs

EXAMPLE
I tell a joke. (present)
I told a joke. (past)
I have told a joke.
(past participle)

Some irregular
verbs, such as
tell, have the
same form in the
past and the
past participle.
Others, however,
have different
forms:

I wear a cap. (present)

I wore a cap. (past)
I have worn a cap. (past
participle)

With
irregular
verbs
such as wear, we need
to learn the different
forms for the past and
the past participle.

Auxiliaries with Irregular

Verbs

Just like regular verbs,

irregular verbs are used
with various auxiliaries to
form different tenses. For
instance, we use has or
have
with
the
past
participle of an irregular
verb to form the presentperfect tense:

Tom has worn out

his welcome.
