Mastering Irregular Verbs: A Complete Guide

English irregular verbs are one of the biggest challenges for learners. Unlike regular verbs, they don't follow the simple "-ed" rule.

Why are they so hard?

Irregular verbs are remnants of Old English. They have survived through centuries of language evolution. Because they are the most commonly used verbs (like "to be", "to go", "to have"), they have resisted regularization.

Strategies for Learning

1. Group them by pattern: Verbs like sing/sang/sung and ring/rang/rung follow the same pattern. Grouping them makes memorization easier.
2. Use Spaced Repetition: This app uses an algorithm to remind you of verbs just before you forget them.
3. Practice in Context: Don't just memorize lists. Write sentences using the verbs.
