REGULAR AND IRREGULAR

VERBS

In simple past tense verbs

are classified into regular
and irregular
 Spelling of Regular verbs
We form the past simple of most regular verbs by adding -ed to the main verb.
wash – washed
kiss – kissed
play - played

For verbs ending in -e, we add –d.

love – loved
like - liked

For verbs ending in a consonant + y, we drop the –y and add –ied .

cry – cried
carry – carried

For verbs ending in a stressed vowel between two consonants, we double the last
consonant and add -ed.
stop – stopped
fit – fitted
 Spelling of Irregular verbs
For irregular verbs their spelling in the simple past tense is totally
different, check these examples:

think - thought
see - saw
write - wrote
say - said
draw - drew
do - did
 NOTA:

Verbos regulares: El Pasado Simple se forma

tomando el verbo y agregando "ed", o "d" si
termina en vocal. Si termina en "y", se cambia
por "ied".

Verbos irregulares: No hay una regla fija. Cada

uno tiene su propia forma de Pasado Simple y la
única manera de aprenderlos es memorizarlos.
Generalmente son los que aparecen en la
segunda columna de los listados de verbos
irregulares en diccionarios y libros de inglés.
