Regular verbs follow a consistent pattern when forming their past tense and past participle. For example, the past tense of "walk" is "walked," and the past participle is also "walked." Another example is "jump," where both the past tense and past participle are "jumped." These verbs do not undergo any changes in their form when moving from present to past tense.

What are the rules in forming irregular and regular verbs?

There are no rules; the irregular ones have been inherited from the old language; there is a list of such verbs and you have to learn them by heart - it's as simple as that! All dictionaries must mention the 2nd and 3rd forms of all irregular verbs. The regular ones add a suffix - ED - to the Short Infinitive (1. the Y preceded by a consonant turns into I before ED; 2. the final consonant is doubled if it is preceded by a short vowel; 3. the verbs ending in E lose it before ED).

What is an irregularity from the standpoint of Interlingua?

500 examples of regular and irregular verbs?

I think the two biggest reasons why this hasn't yet been answered is that

500 examples is too many.

I give enough for you to (hopefully) understand the explanations of each term I've given.

Verbs - 'doing'/'action' words. e.g racing, worked, sang, etc

Regular verbs - verb conjoins to language's past tense/participle rules.

ie. an '-ed' suffix in English e.g raised, asked, hoped, etc

Irregular verbs - no set rule. verbs can have a complete, half or even no change at all. e.g do, did, done, be, was/were, been, hit, hits, hit etc.

Other things to Note:

certain verbs can be both regular and irregular e.g lent, lended(?); soaked, soaks, etc.

-but being so does not mean that the same meaning is always retained. (although it can mean that and something else too) capital e.g. "you can't have hanged a picture, though you can have a man."

same e.g "how about hanging that matter up already instead of always being so hung up on it?"

s.e.g2 "hang in there!"

hang, hangs, hung = denoting suspension/in suspension/to suspend; object dangling, fixation, etc

hang, hangs, hanged = execution; death, rid of, don't give up(?), etc

some irregular words can have present/past tense the same as a regular's present/past. (meanings also can differ)

e.g find, finds, found, founded, founded, etc.

Can you have an indirect object with a direct object?

Yes. In fact, a sentence must have a direct object in order to have an indirect object. (Note, however, that some consider the subject of a sentence in the passive voice to be an "implicit" indirect object, because it the sentence is changed to the active voice, the subject in the passive voice will often become an indirect object in the active voice.)

Can a sentence have a simple predicate but without a complete predicate?

Yes but it's the way you diagram. ex.) Ducks quack. that is a simple subject=ducks simple predicate=quack but if you have= The teacher gave us homework. Teacher would be the subject or the complete subject would be, The teacher. the simple predicate would be, gave. the complete predicate would be, gave us homework. (i had a really good grammar teacher this year!)
