Regular Verbs
English
regular verbs change their form very little (unlike irregular verbs). The past tense and past
participle of regular verbs end in -ed, for example:
work, worked,
worked
But you
should note the following points:
1. Some
verbs can be both regular and irregular, for example:
learn, learned,
learned
learn, learnt, learnt
learn, learnt, learnt
2. Some
verbs change their meaning depending on whether they are regular or irregular,
for example "to hang":
|
regular
|
hang,
hanged, hanged
|
to kill or
die, by dropping with a rope around the neck
|
|
irregular
|
hang,
hung, hung
|
to fix
something (for example, a picture) at the top so that the lower part is free
|
3. The
present tense of some regular verbs is the same as the past tense of some
irregular verbs:
|
regular
|
found, founded, founded
|
|
irregular
|
find, found,
found
|
Definition:
A verb that forms its past tense and past participle by adding -d or -ed
(or in some cases -t) to the base form. (Also known as a weak verb.)
Contrast with Irregular Verb.
The majority
of English verbs are regular. They have four different
Form:
- base form: the form found in a dictionary
- -s form: used in the singular third person, present tense
- -ed form: used for the past tense and past participle
- -ing form: used for the present participle
Regular Verbs
A regular verb is a verb that
follows this rule:
Past form of the verb = Present form of the verb + ed
/ d
For example, work is a regular verb because:
Past form of work = work + ed = worked
Dance is a regular verb too. That is because:
Past form of dance = dance
+ d = danced
We call the present form a base form, or V1 (Verb 1).
We call the past form V2 (Verb 2).
There is another form called V3 (Verb 3). That is the form that we use in the Perfect Tenses.
These are examples of Regular Verbs:
|
V1
|
V2
|
V3

|

|
