REGULAR VERBS

DOCENTE: Dr. Juan Arellano Guerrero

REGULAR VERBS
1. A regular verb is one that conforms to the usual rule for

forming its simple past tense and its past participle.

2. In English, the "usual" rule is to add "-ed" or "-d" to the base

form of the verb to create the past forms.

RULES
 Add "ed" to most verbs:

jump > jumped

paint > painted

 If a verb of one syllable ends [consonant-vowel-consonant], double

the final consonant and add "ed":

chat > chatted

stop > stopped

RULES

 If the final consonant is "w," "x," or "y," don't double it:

sew > sewed
play > played
fix > fixed
 If the last syllable of a longer verb is stressed and ends [consonant-
vowel-consonant], double the last consonant and add "ed":
incur > incurred
prefer > preferred
RULES
 If the verb ends "e," just add "d":

thrive > thrived

guzzle > guzzled

 If the verb ends [consonant + "y"], change the "y" to an "i"

and add "ed":

cry > cried

fry > fried

LIST
There are thousands of regular verbs in English. This is a list of some 600 of the
more common regular verbs. Note that there are some spelling variations in
American English (for example, practise becomes practice in American English).

IRREGULAR VERBS

DOCENTE: Dr. Juan Arellano Guerrero

IRREGULAR VERBS
Son los que forman el pasado y participio pasado de manera
irregular.
Para el presente se comportan como los verbos regulares,
añadiendo '-s' a la tercera persona singular (excepto 'to be' y
'to have').
IRREGULAR VERBS
Los verbos irregulares (como su nombre indica) no siguen
ninguna norma para formar el pasado, por lo que deben
aprenderse "memorizando" o bien practicando su uso a
través de ejercicios específicos y por supuesto a través de la
práctica diaria del inglés ya que su uso es muy común.

REGULAR VS IRREGULAR VERBS
Regular verbs contrast with irregular verbs, which form their

simple past tenses and past participles in a variety of ways.

With a regular verb, the simple past tense and the past

participle are the same. For example:

REGULAR VS IRREGULAR VERBS
With irregular verbs, however, the past forms can be same
or different.
For example:
WEAK VERBS
A regular verb is a type of
weak verb.

The terms "regular verb" and

"weak verb" are not
synonyms (i.e., they do not
mean the same). Similarly,
the terms "irregular verb" and
"strong verb" are not
synonyms.
