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 |
