Unit1 .1: irregular Verbs

1. Introduction

English verbs are usually divided into two types:
✅ Regular Verbs – follow a simple rule (add -ed to make the past form).
✅ Irregular Verbs – do NOT follow the regular rules. Instead, their past and past participle forms change differently.

Example:

Regular Verb: walk → walked → walked ✅
Irregular Verb: go → went → gone ❌

In this lesson, you will learn what irregular verbs are, see common examples, and practice using them in sentences.

2. What Are Irregular Verbs? (Definition) 🧐

Irregular verbs are verbs that do not follow a regular pattern when changing to the past tense (V2) and past participle (V3).

For example:

Base Form (V1)	Past Simple (V2)	Past Participle (V3)
Go	Went	Gone
Eat	Ate	Eaten
See	Saw	Seen
Write	Wrote	Written
Buy	Bought	Bought

Since there are no fixed rules for irregular verbs, you need to memorize them! 🧠✨

3. Common Irregular Verbs (List) 📝

Here is a table of some common irregular verbs:

Base Form (V1)	Past Simple (V2)	Past Participle (V3)	Example Sentence
Be	Was / Were	Been	She was at school yesterday.
Begin	Began	Begun	They began the project last week.
Break	Broke	Broken	He has broken his phone again!
Drink	Drank	Drunk	I drank coffee this morning.
Drive	Drove	Driven	She has never driven a sports car.
Forget	Forgot	Forgotten	I forgot my homework!
Give	Gave	Given	She has given me a book.
Take	Took	Taken	We took the train to London.
Speak	Spoke	Spoken	She spoke to her friend yesterday.
Write	Wrote	Written	He has written a letter.
