Whether or not they follow the basic conjugation for which type of verb they are. Examples of regular would be, hablar (-ar verb), escribir (-ir verb), and comer (-er verb). What you'll notice while conjugating these is that nothing changes and it's the simplest conjugation. For hablar in the present tense it's just, yo hablo, tu hablas, el/ella/usted habla, nosotros hablamos, vosotros hablais, and ellos/ellas/ustedes hablan. Easy stuff, right? Okay... Now let me try to think of three irregular verbs. Pensar (-ar irregular verb), dormir (-ir irregular verb), and poder (-er irregular verb). When conjugating any of these irregulars the stem itself will change, instead of just the ending durring cojugation. I'll conjugate all of these in the present "yo form" to show you what I mean. Pensar becomes Pienso in the yo form, Dormir becomes Duermo in the yo form, and Poder becomes Puedo in the yo form.
In Spanish, there are three irregular verbs in the imperfect tense: ser, ir, and ver. These verbs have unique conjugations in the imperfect tense that do not follow the regular patterns of regular -ar, -er, or -ir verbs.
The three types of verbs in Spanish are regular verbs, stem-changing verbs, and irregular verbs. Regular verbs follow predictable patterns in their conjugation, stem-changing verbs have changes in the stem of the verb in certain forms, and irregular verbs do not follow the typical conjugation patterns.
No. Estudiar is a regular verb in Spanish. When conjugating this verb it follows all the rules for -ar verbs.
Irregular verb forms can have accent marks (such as "fuéramos" which is a form of the verb "ser.") Accent marks aren't used to show whether words are regular or irregular. The accent in "fuéramos" shows that the syllable with "e" gets the stress.
Yes. You can use them together in a sentence or a piece of writing. I saw the movie and then I walked home. see/saw - irregular, walk/walked - regular I had talked to her many times. have/had - irregular, talk / talked - regular

In Spanish, irregular verbs are conjugated differently than regular verbs. For example: Tener is an irregular verb because instead of the "yo form" being teno, it is tengo. Comer is a regular verb because the "yo form", como, follows the verb conjugation rule. Regular verbs are conjugated by removing the last two letters of the word in its original form, and a "suffix" is added on, depending on the subject Irregular verbs follow their own rule. You may probably learn this later on if you take Spanish or if you are taking it now.
The words "irregular" and "regular" are not verbs and do not have past tense forms.
No, irregular verbs do not follow a standard pattern like regular verbs. They change in unpredictable ways when conjugated, requiring memorization of their different forms. Examples of irregular verbs include "go-went-gone" and "eat-ate-eaten."
-ed is added to regular verbs, not irregular ones.
No, "dar" is a regular verb in Spanish. Its conjugation follows the same pattern as other regular -ar verbs.
In English, there are only two verbs that are irregular in the present tense: to be (am/are/is/are/are/are) to have (have/have/*has*/have/have/have) The modal verbs follow a different pattern than regular verbs but are not technically "irregular": will shall must etc.
