50 examples of present tense past tense and past participle
V1, V2 and V3
When learning English you need to know the meaning of certain words first, and then sort the words appropriately according to grammatical rules. Verbs in a regular structure can be transformed with a simple rule, whereas in irregular verbs, this situation is slightly different. It may be a good start to make some memorization and learn how to use the verbs in the right places.
In English there are regular verbs as well as irregular verbs. In Simple Past Tense and Past Participle forms, most of the verbs have -d, -ed and -ied suffixes, while some verbs do not follow this rule. These verbs which do not follow this rule and whose past tenses are completely different from the others are called irregular verbs.
Irregular verbs are used in the form of verb 2 and verb 3, Past Participle, depending on the situation and time of use. Now let’s take a look at the situations and how to use these verbs together.
Where is the second form of irregular verbs used?
Simple past tense sentences should be set with verb 2. In Past Tense sentences, irregular verbs should be in accordance with the following pattern;
Subject + Verb 2 + Object
Examples:
- I took the bus last night.
- I slept yesterday at 12 o’clock.
- John took his car to New York last winter.
- Wrote a letter to a friend last night.
