GRAMMAR REVIEW! Irregular verbs in English

Irregular verbs in English are verbs that do not follow the standard rules for conjugation in the past tense and past participle. Most English verbs are regular, meaning you just add -ed to the base form (e.g., walk → walked). But irregular verbs change in unpredictable ways, and you often have to memorize them.

Three main forms to know
Base form: the infinitive without "to" (e.g., go)
Past simple: used for actions completed in the past (e.g., went)
Past participle: used with perfect tenses (e.g., gone)

Some irregular verbs don't change at all
cut → cut → cut
put → put → put
let → let → let

Some have the same past and participle
buy → bought → bought
find → found → found

Some have three totally different forms
drink → drank → drunk
begin → began → begun
