IRREGULAR VERBS - PAST TENSE

IRREGULAR VERBS

http://ibatefl.com/?p=995

Irregular verbs do not make their past tense by adding
- d or - ed or by changing y to i and adding ed. Instead,
they make their past forms in several ways.

For many irregular verbs, the simple and
past forms have different vowels.

For many irregular verbs, the simple verb
and the past form have different endings
(and often different vowels)

A few irregular verbs have more than one
past form.

For a few irregular verbs, one past form
tends is more common in American English
and a different one is more common in
British English

Special Notes:


1.The simple and past forms of read have the same
spelling, but they are pronounced differently:

simple: read (pronounced the same as reed)
past: read (pronounced the same as red)

 
2.There are no easy rules to help you learn the past
forms for irregular verbs quickly. Unfortunately,
you will have to memorize them!

• We can do the past tense of regular verbs by adding ed to most of this verbs; 

for example, accept - accepted.

• Regular verbs endings in " y" 

preceded by a consonant we change this y into i and we add es,
 for example, try - tried.
but if the verb ends in "y" preceded by a vowel the verb does not change the "y".for example, play - played.

• Regular verbs endings in consOnant preceded by a vowel we double the consonant. 

for example, happen - happenned.
