What is an irregular verb?
It is a verb that does not follow the common conjugation pattern.
The English language has at least 200 irregular verbs.
As a reminder, to conjugate a verb in the past tense in English, you have to add “ed” at the end.
For example : “to drive” => “She drived”
How to memorize irregular verbs?
To learn the verbs we advise you to use the four-column table above. You will then just have to hide certain columns and try to guess them.
You will not be able to learn all 200 verbs in one day. The technique we recommend is to learn 10 verbs per day, preferably 15 minutes in the morning. In the evening before going to bed, it is important to work on these verbs again.
By using this method, you can learn all the irregular verbs without forcing in about 20 days.
What do the columns in the table correspond to?
The first column is the infinitive. The infinitive is distinguished by “To” like “To buy” or “To dive”.
The second column corresponds to the preterite of the verb. It is when the action took place in the past tense and is finished.
The third column corresponds to the past participle of the verb. It is when the action is finished, but still has a connection with the present tense.
