What are Irregular Verbs?
In English, most of verbs are turned into the past tense by adding ‘-ed’ to the end of a base form of the verb, they are called regular verbs.
Examples:
- Play – played – played
- Work – worked – worked
- Talk – talked – talked
In contrast, some of English verbs don’t follow this rule when changing into the past tense. There’s also no rule for them. Those verbs are called irregular verbs.
Examples:
- Go -went – gone
- Do – did – done
- See – saw – seen

Hello.
This is my first time to comment. I have noticed a little mistake regarding the table. Unless I get confused, you wrote bare form instead of writing base form. For the rest you did a wonderful job and it is very useful for our pupils duroing the class and outside school.
This table can be used as a reward to encourage best pupils or tjhose who make some progress in their learning.
Thanks ever so much.
good for us who are foreign and to the teaches . I thank to someone who did that because it will help to guide my learners .
Thank you for effort ❤️
