What is the irregular verb of feel?
The past tense and participle of "feel" is "felt."
Feel is sometimes called an irregular verb, though it is also called a strong verb.
A regular verb forms its past tense and past participle by adding [-ed] to the stem.
I walk, I walked, I have walked.
A strong verb is different -- it changes to another form.
I feel, I felt, I have felt.
This form comes from older English, and is the same for the verb kneel (knelt). Strong verbs include give (gave) and stick (stuck).
Most, but not all, plural nouns end with -s. They are called regular plurals.
Examples:
apple-apples
boy-boys
car-cars
day-days
egg-eggs
frog-frogs
game-games
hat-hats

Yes, that's correct. There's no action in a linking verb so there can't be a direct object.

In John kicked the ball, the transitive verb is 'kicked' and the direct object is 'the ball'. Hope that helps.
