REGULAR AND IRREGULAR VERBS

:

Hi guys of 8th grade, this week we are going to learn and talk about Regular and Irregular verbs. But first let's remember what the verbs are:

Don't forget!: Read well, look up the words you don't know in the dictionary and write the information in your notebook 

What Are Verbs?

A verb is an "action" Word, with them we can express

· A physical action (e.g., to swim, to write, to climb).

· A mental action (e.g., to think, to guess, to consider).

· A state of being (e.g., to be, to exist, to appear).

English verbs can be Regulars or Irregulars.

Regular verbs form their different tenses according to an established pattern, while

Irregular verbs don’t follow the normal rules.

Regular verbs form their past and past participle forms by adding –ed.
Examples:

Walk – walked – walked
Dance – danced – danced
Paint – painted – painted
Work – worked – worked

Irregular verbs form their past and past participle forms in different ways.

There are mainly three types of irregular verbs:

Ø  Verbs in which all the three forms are the same.

Ex: put – put – put

Ø  Verbs in which two of the three forms are the same.

Ex: sit – sat – sat

Ø  Verbs in which all three forms are different.

Ex: drink – drank – drunk

Ø  Some verbs can be both regular and irregular.

Ex:

Burn – burnt – burnt (irregular)
Burn – burned – burned (regular)

Dream – dreamt – dreamt (irregular)
Dream – dreamed – dreamed (regular)

Lean – lent – lent (irregular)
Lean – leaned – leaned (regular)

Learn – learnt – learnt (irregular)
Learn – learned – learned (regular)

Smell – smelt – smelt (irregular)

Smell – smelled – smelled (regular)
