Ways to form irregular verbs
So, easy! If the verb in Past Simple and Past Participle does not have an ending "- ed"(I felt / she has forgiven) - then he wrong, that is, the verbs forming the form Past Simple and Past Participle don't add ending «- ed» to the infinitive form, but are formed in other wonderful ways.
These are, for example:
- Change root vowels on " o"And adding endings To 3 form:
break[breɪk] br o ke br o k ru["brəuk (ə) n] (c) break
choose ch o se ch o se n["tʃəuz (ə) n] choose

Memory game
We are talking about the analogy of the card "fool". Irregular verbs in English are written on the cards, each form on a separate card. There are about 20 verbs in one deck, that's 60 cards. 6 cards are dealt to the players. The first one walks the one who has the initial form of the verb. The next one should put the first or second form of this verb, or another verb in the initial form. For example: the first player makes a move with "go", the second must put "went" or "gone", or another verb in the initial form, for example, "come". Further - by analogy. There is also a joker - a verb in which all forms are the same, for example "hit-hit-hit". With the Joker, you can change the top card, that is, order the form of the verb that the owner of the Joker needs. If there are no suitable cards, then you need to take from the deck until you get it. The deck is dismantled to the end, and the one who has no cards left wins. The game is going with a bang! Try it!
We hope that learning English irregular verbs will be easier now! And so that you have no doubts, we invite you to take a trial lesson! Don "t be shy;)
Big and friendly family EnglishDom
The third form of the verb in English has an official name - Past participle or Past Participle. These words can be translated into Russian as a passive participle: made - made, taken - taken, got - received.
Use Cases Past Participle
The past participle is called the 3rd form of the verb only by those who study English as a foreign language. These words are in demand in the formation of various grammatical structures:
- conditional sentences of the 3rd type:
If he had known her phone number he would have called her and told about the meeting. “If he knew her phone number, he would have called and told about the meeting. (known, called, told - past participles)
Statements of this type refer to the past and denote wishes or actions that are no longer destined to come true. Such phrases consist of a main and a conditional sentence, both of which use verbs in the 3rd form.
- times of the group Perfect (completed):
I have just finished my essay. - I just finished my composition. (Present Perfect, finished - past participle from regular verb to finish)
She had eaten her sandwich by the time her mum came home. “She finished her sandwich by the time Mom got home. (Past Perfect, eaten is the past participle of the irregular verb to eat)
They will have got to the hotel by 6 o'clock tomorrow. “They'll get to the hotel by 6 o'clock tomorrow. (Future Perfect, got - irregular past participle to get)
- passive voice:
The window was broken by some pupil. - The window was broken by some student. (broken - 3rd form of irregular verb to break)
The past participle in English can be used as an adjective:
His lost toy was found in the garden. “His lost toy was found in the garden. (lost - 3rd form of irregular verb to lose)
How Past Participle is formed
It is known that all English verbs are in 2 groups. Regular ones form all past tense forms by adding the ending -ed. The wrong ones undergo various changes that need to be remembered. It is convenient for learners to use the table of the third form of the verb in English:
Initial form | Past Participle | Initial form | Past Participle | ||||
be | to be | been | former | have | have | had | had |
become | become | become | became | keep | keep | kept | stored |
begin | begin | begun | started | lose | lose | lost | Lost |
break | break | broken | broken | make | make | made | made |
bring | bring | brought | brought | meet | meet | met | met |
build | build | built | built | put | lay down | put | put |
buy | buy | bought | bought | read | read | read | read |
catch | catch | caught | caught | run | run | run | escaped |
choose | choose | chosen | selected | say | to tell | said | said |
come | to come | come | come | see | see | seen | seen |
do | make | done | made | sell | sell | sold | sold |
draw | paint | drawn | drawn | sleep | sleep | slept | asleep |
drink | drink | drunk | drunk | speak | talk | spoken | spoke |
eat | there is | eaten | eaten | spend | spend | spent | spent |
fall | fall | fallen | fallen | swim | swim | swum | floated |
feed | feed | fed | fed | take | take | taken | taken |
find | find | found | found | think | think | thought | deliberate |
fly | fly | flown | flown away | wear | wear | worn | worn |
get | receive | got | received | win | win | won | defeated |
go | go | gone | departed | write | write | written | written |
In the past tense, the verb after any pronoun goes in the same form - with the ending - ed - or completely changes its shape. In the first case, we are dealing with regular verbs with the ending - ed ... In the second case, we are faced with irregular verbs.
You cannot add to them - ED since in the past tense, these verbs are completely changed.
This is exactly what we observe with do. In the past tense it is not doed (as it should be according to the rule), and did , because do is an irregular verb.
So how do you know if a verb is correct or not?
Here a little "female" logic will help us: you just need to learn the table of irregular verbs and their translation. The ones not on this list are correct. But the catch is that there are about 200 irregular verbs! And multiply this number by 3 (an irregular verb has 3 forms: one is the present tense, the second is the past tense, the third is the participle). Nevertheless, the list of verbs necessary in everyday life is not so extensive - almost 2 times less. First of all, you need to know them.
How to remember irregular verbs?
Repeat aloud the 3 forms of each verb, so they are perfectly remembered - like a rhyme! Or print a book for fast memorization of irregular verbs ().

What can no rule be without? Of course, no exceptions! Irregular verbs in English are also not spared. But, as they say, an irregular verb is not so terrible as it is painted. Today we will deal with different methods of memorizing irregular verbs.
Open any table of irregular verbs ( see at the end of the article) and you will see three columns there. The first column contains verbs in the impersonal, or (only without the to particle). This is what corresponds to Russian verbs ending in -ty: draw, write, read - (to) draw, write, read.
The second column is - I drew, wrote, read (yesterday, for example) - drew, wrote, read.
In the third column, the so-called second participle, or past participle.
Approx. The first participle corresponds to the Russian –– writing / ––: drawing, writing, reading. In English, the first participle has the ending –ing. - drawing, writing, rading.
Let's go back to the third column, which presents the past participle - it corresponds to the Russian "made" - drawn, written, read. Third column for
- verbs in.
- verbs of the tenses of the Perfect group:
I have already written my essay. I already wrote an essay (or “I already have my essay written).
I have read three books this month. I have read three books this month. (Or I have three books read).
Have you ever drawn anything like that? Have you ever drawn something like this? (Or have you ever had something like this drawn?)
What do irregular verbs mean?
Why are irregular verbs "irregular"? The fact is that according to the rules, the so-called second and third forms are constructed by adding the ending -ed.
I work - I worked yesterday. - I have worked for three companies.
For irregular verbs, the second and third forms are formed in a completely individual way (go - went - gone), or do not change at all (put-put-put).
Memorization methods
- Alphabetically - cram. Boring and useless.
- Make cards with three shapes on one side and translation on the other. Periodically, when a minute is given (in transport, in the morning with a cup of coffee, etc.), go through the cards, checking yourself. If you remember, we transfer it to the second pile, if not, we leave it in the first one and come back later. And so on until there is a confident memorization. When you go through the cards, try to come up with examples - this is how imaginative thinking is also connected, it is easier to remember, and words are learned not separately, but in context.
- Poems. Rather, a childish way. But in whom does the child not live ?? If you like it, it evokes positive emotions - then why not? Here are examples of such rhymes

- I like the idea of distributing irregular verbs into groups based on the similarity of the formation of the second and third forms. This makes them much easier to learn.

- To make the process of memorizing irregular verbs more fun, my students and I compose stories together. That is, one person pulls out a card, remembers all the forms and meanings, and then composes a sentence using the second or third form. The next one takes out the second card and continues the story. It is usually very funny. And bright positive emotions, especially laughter, are known to promote memorization.
Do not put it on the back burner - it is better to cut the leaves right now, make cards - and go! And find an accomplice to compose stories.
