What are Irregular Verbs?

In the English language, we use verbs to describe our actions or states of being, and there are two types of verbs: regular verbs and irregular verbs. Most English verbs are regular verbs, and these follow a consistent pattern when conjugated. On the other hand, irregular verbs do not follow a consistent pattern when conjugated.

However, irregular verbs account for approximately 200 of the most commonly used English verbs. Not only are irregular verbs common, but some of them are necessary for constructing basic sentences, such as:

Examples

• I saw the dog. —————————————> Saw is a conjugation of the irregular verb see.
• I went to school. ————————————> Went is a conjugation of the irregular verb go.
• I had two dollars. ———————————–> Had is a conjugation of the irregular verb have.

So, you need to learn irregular verbs if you want to learn English, and old fashioned memorization is the only way to learn all the conjugations.
