Irregular verb

An irregular verb is a verb that has some forms not following the regular verbs conjugation patterns.

For example, in English an irregular verb does not take on the "-d" or "-ed" ending for the Past Simple and Past Participle forms. In some case, the conjugation does not change the spelling of the verb, whereas in others, it changes completely.

For example:

Present | Simple past | Past participle

|
|

quit  | quit  | quit
bite  | bit  | bitten
saw (wood)  | sawed  | sawn
ride  | rode  | ridden
