Irregular Verbs- List 3

​Irregular Verbs

Verbs that do not form their past and past participle by adding the ending -ed are called irregular verbs.

These verbs often change spelling to form the past, present participle, and past participle tenses.

There are a few verbs that keep the same spelling for all four principal parts.

The only way to know these verbs is to memorize them.​
