When do you use a verb or irregular verb?

In languages such as English, in which verbs are conjugated, regular verbs are conjugated in a regular or consistent way, while irregular verbs do not follow an obvious pattern in their conjugation. For example, in English the way to conjugate a regular verb is to add -ed to the past tense, and -ed to the past participle, e.g. "to kick" kick (present tense), kicked (past tense), and (had) kicked (past participle, i.e. "he had kicked him"). Irregular verbs, which are the ones which are used most often in English do not show this pattern. Examples are "sing, sang, sung" and "think, thought, thought." An especially irregular verb in English is "to be" which has the forms "is, was, (had) been," and the present tense of this verb is also irregular in person and number, e.g. "I am, you are, he/she is, we are, you are, they are." Most verbs do not show any difference between the 1st person ("I"), and the second person ("you") in the verb forms. The verb "to go" is also quite irregular, "go, went, gone." Most verbs in European languages show this distinction between irregular and regular verbs.


What is the verb form of am?

One of the most confusing verbs for non-English speakers is the verb "to be." It is an irregular verb, and "am" is the first person singular, present tense. The present of "to be" goes like this: I am, you are, he/she/it is; we are, you (plural) are, they are. In the past tense, the forms are: I was, you were, he/she/it was; we were, you (plural) were, they were. And the future is "will be"-- it does not change at all: I will be, you will be, he/she/it will be, etc.
