Regular and Irregular Verbs
There are two types of verbs - regular and irregular.
Regular verbs are those whose past tense (for example, "I looked") and past participle (for example, "I had looked") are formed by following the standard rule: adding a "d" or an "ed" to the end of the verb (sometimes a final consonant is doubled, and if there is a y at the end of the word after a consonant, it changes to an "ied"). Walk is an example of a regular verb: I walk. You walked. They had walked. Another example is plan: I plan. She planned. They have planned. Another example is carry: I carry it. He carried it. They have carried it.
Irregular verbs are those whose past tense (for example, "I rode") and past participle (for example, "I had ridden") have forms that do not follow the standard rules. There are many irregular verbs (over 250) in English, inluding be, break, bring, come, cut, eat, go, meet, run, swim, and many more. The chart to the right lists some irregular verbs.
