The difference between Regular and Irregular verbs

Regular verbs follow a predictable pattern, where the past tense is formed by adding -ed to the base form of the verb, while the past participle is formed by adding -ed or -d to the base form of the verb. For example, the regular verb “walk” has the past tense “walked” and the past participle “walked”.

Irregular verbs, on the other hand, do not follow this predictable pattern, and each verb has its own unique past tense and past participle forms. For example, the irregular verb “go” has the past tense “went” and the past participle “gone”, while the irregular verb “eat” has the past tense “ate” and the past participle “eaten”.

It’s important to note that while most English verbs are regular, there are many commonly used verbs that are irregular, so it’s important to learn the irregular forms of these verbs to communicate effectively in English.
