 Irregular Verb

Irregular verbs are verbs that dont take on the regular d, -ed, or -ied spelling
patterns of the past simple (V2) or past participle (V3). Many of the irregular V2 and V3
forms are the same, such as: cut cut, had had, let let, hurt hurt, fed- fed, sold-sold
Irregular verbs are also known as strong verbs. Here are nine that are used more often
than the rest. These nine irregular verb examples also happen to be among the most
commonly used words in the English language. They are:

The following examples show how irregular verbs are used in sentences. Some sentences
contain more than one example.

1. Go get your brother. Its time to eat dinner.

In this example, all three irregular verbs (go, get, and eat) are in base form.

2. I want to build a sand castle like the one we built last year.
In this example, the irregular verb build is in base form. The irregular verb built is the
past simple form of build. When you look at the complete list of examples, youll notice

3. He bet me that I couldnt run five miles without stopping. I proved him wrong;
I ran seven miles before I had to catch my breath.
In this example, bet is a past simple form. When you look at the complete list, you will

verb run is in base form. In the next sentence, ran is the past simple form of run and had
