Irregular Verbs with List of 300+ Words

Introduction:

Irregular verbs Are verbs in which the past tense is not formed by adding the usual ‘ed’ at the end. For example, ‘go’ is an irregular verb because its past tense is ‘went’ and its past participle is ‘gone’, not any word ended with ‘ed’.

Irregular verbs contrast with regular verbs, which form the simple past tense and the past participle by adding “-ed” or “-d.” For example, ‘arrive’ is a regular verb because its past tense is ‘arrived’, and its past participle is also ‘arrived’.
