Irregular Verbs

28 January, 2015 - 14:56

Most verbs represent the past with the addition of the suffix “ed,” as in “ask” becomes “asked.” Irregular verbs change a vowel or convert to another word when representing the past tense. Consider the irregular verb “to go”; the past tense is “went,” not “goed.”

Examples

The need arised [arose] to seek additional funding.
Katy leaped [leapt] onto the stage to introduce the presentation.
