Regular and Irregular Verbs Exercises



🎧 Lire / écouter d’abord

In English, verbs can be regular or irregular. Regular verbs follow a pattern when changing tenses, like adding -ed for the past. For example, 'play' becomes 'played'. Irregular verbs do not follow this pattern. For instance, 'go' becomes 'went'. It is important to learn these verbs to communicate effectively. You can practice by writing sentences using both types of verbs. Try to use them in questions and answers. This will help you remember them better.
