Answer:
The main verbs are classified as regular verbs or irregular verbs. Both types of verbs can be identified by how their past tense and past participle are formed. Unlike the regular verbs that form their past tense and past participle by using the suffix –d or mostly –ed for their base form, the irregular verbs change their base forms, such as the vowels to form their past tense and past participle as indicated in the following examples.
Regular verbs
The past tense and past participle of regular verbs end in –d or –ed.
–d:
Present tense – die, like, move, place, squeeze
Past tense – died, like, moved, placed, squeezed
Past participle – died, liked, moved, placed, squeezed
–ed:
Present tense – boo, kill, pass, reach, touch
Past tense – booed, killed, passed, reached, touched
Past participle – booed, killed, passed, reached, touched
Regular verbs ending in consonants
Many regular verbs that end in a consonant; for example, –b, –g, –p will double its consonant followed by –ed: robbed, rubbed, flogged, tugged, stepped, stopped.
Regular verbs that end in –c, –ked is added: picnic/picnicked; panic/panicked.
Regular verbs that end in –y, drop the –y and add –ied: carry/carried; hurry/hurried; worry/worried.
Irregular verbs
The past tense and past participle of irregular verbs do not follow the above regular pattern of grammar. They do not end in –d or –ed.
