The Four Principal Parts of Verbs

Verbs have different tenses to express time.

The tense of the verb walk in the sentence "They walk

very fast" expresses action in the present.

In "They walked too far from home," the tense of the

verb shows that the action happened in the past.

In "They will walk home from school," the verb

 University of Mindanao – Digos College
COLLEGE OF TEACHER EDUCATION

“We Discover, We Practice, We Create”
expresses action in the future.

These forms of verbs are known as tenses. A verb's tense

shows the time of the action or state of being that is
being described. To use the tenses of a verb correctly,
you must know the principal parts of the verb.

A verb has four principal parts: the present, the present

participle, the past, and the past participle.

THE FOUR PRINCIPAL FORMS OF WALK

Present Present Past Past
(S-Form & P- Participle Participle
Form)
Walks/walk (am, is, are) walked (has, have,
walking had) walked
The first principal part, called the present, is the form of
a verb that is listed in a dictionary. The present participle
and the past participle must be combined with helping
verbs before they can be used as verbs in sentences. The
result will always be a verb phrase.

EXAMPLES:
(present) He walks toward us in a hurry.
(present participle) June is walking to the park.
(past) They walked to the park.
(past participle) We have walked three miles in the last
hour.

The way the past and past participle of a verb are formed
shows whether the verb is regular or irregular.

Using Regular Verbs

Most verbs are regular, which means that their past and
past participle forms follow a standard, predictable
pattern.

The past and past participle of a regular verb are formed

by adding –ed or –d to the present form.

To form the past and past participle of a regular verb

such as chirp or hover, you simply add –ed to the
present.

With regular verbs that already end in e-verbs such as

move and charge-you simply add -d to the present.

“We Discover, We Practice, We Create”
The principal parts of regular verbs because their past,
past participle, and present participle forms follow a
simple pattern.

Using Irregular Verbs

While most verbs are regular, many very common verbs
are irregular-their past and past participle forms do not
follow a predictable pattern.

The past and past participle of an irregular verb are not

formed by adding –ed or –d to the present form.

Remember, when a regular verb ends with a consonant

and y, change the y to I before adding -ed.

When a regular one syllable verb ends with one vowel

and a single consonant, double the consonant before
adding -ed.

When a regular verb ends with e, drop the e before

adding -ed.

cry-cried hurry-hurried hop-hopped file-filed

The past and the past participle of some verbs are not
formed by adding -ed.

These verbs are irregular verbs.
