Question

What are the rules for regular and irregular verbs?

Answer 1

Answer:

A regular verb is one that conforms to the usual rule for forming its simple past tense and its past participle. In English, the "usual" rule is to add "-ed" or "-d" to the base form of the verb to create the past forms.

In contrast, the simple past and past participle of irregular verbs can end in a variety of ways, with no consistent pattern. With irregular verbs, writers make two frequent errors. They either 1) add an incorrect ed to the end of the past tense or past participle or 2) confuse one form with the other.
