Question

What is the definition of irregular verbs?

Answer 1

See explanation.

Explanation:

A verb is regular if its Past Simple form and Past Participle form end with "-ed".

The examples can be:

• play - played - played

• stay - stayed - stayed

• invite - invited - invited

and other.

A verb which is NOT regular is called irregular.

Examples:

• be - was/were - been

• go - went - gone

• think - thought - thought

and other.

Note:

There is a difference between American English and British English. Some verbs like burn or learn which are irregular in British English are regular in American English.
