131 IRREGULAR VERBS you MUST know (with images!)

What are ‘irregular verbs’?

Irregular verbs are the opposite of ‘regular verbs‘. 

Regular verb examples:

infinitive: play
past simple: played
past participle: played

infinitive: carry
past simple: carried
past participle: carried 

infinitive: book
past simple: booked
past participle: booked

As you can see, ‘regular verbs‘ have an -ed or -ied ending in the past simple and past participle.
This makes them easy! 

But, in English we love exceptions. ‘Irregular verbs’ do not have an -ed or -ied ending. For example:

infinitive: eat
past simple: ate
past participle: eaten

infinitive: put
past simple: put
past participle: put

So, irregular verbs are…irregular. There is no pattern. 

You need to memorize them.
