What is an irregular verb?

Answer 1

An irregular verb is one that does not take the -ed ending for the Past simple and Past Participle forms.

Irregular verbs fall into 5 categories:

1. Base Form
2. Past Simple
3. Past Participle
4. 3RD Person Singular
5. Present Participle/ Gerund

Answer 2

Most of the oldest and commonest verbs in English, like be and go, take and have, are called "strong," or irregular verbs, because they do not simply add -ed to the stem to make the past tense, as "weak," or regular verbs do, but instead change the stem. Talk is regular: Talk, past talked; but speak is irregular: speak, past spoke.

Answer 3

An irregular verb is a verb that does not follow the regular conjugation patterns in a given language. This means that irregular verbs have unique conjugations for different tenses and persons. Examples in English include "go" (went) and "eat" (ate) instead of following the -ed ending pattern for past tense.
