Irregular verb
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by JessicaT (talk | contribs) at 18:22, September 23, 2008. It may differ significantly from current revision.
An irregular verb is a verb that, unlike regular verbs, 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 |
