What are the different between regular and irregular verbs in past?
Those verbs that form their past participle with ‘d’ or ‘ed’ are regular verbs. These verbs do not undergo substantial changes while changing forms between tenses.
- If the verb ends with a vowel, only ‘d’ is added. For example:
PRESENT TENSE | PAST TENSE |
Share | Shared |
Scare | Scared |
Dare | Dared |
- If the verb ends with a consonant, ‘ed’ is added. For example:
PRESENT TENSE | PAST TENSE |
Want | Wanted |
Shout | Shouted |
|
Those verbs that undergo substantial changes when changing forms between tenses are irregular verbs. The changed forms of these verbs are often unrecognisably different from the originals. For example:
PRESENT TENSE | PAST TENSE |
Go | Went |
Run | Ran |
