Regular Verb
& Irregular
Verb
 A regular verb is one that conforms to
the usual rule for forming its simple past
tense and past participle.
In English, the “usual” rule is to add “-
ed” or “-d” to the base form of the verb
to create the past forms.
 Irregular verbs are verbs which do not
follow normal rules for conjugation.
Good examples of irregular verbs
include have, understand and draw.
Notice that their past forms had,
understood and drew are very different
from regular verbs, which end with -d or
-ed
