The difference between regular and irregular verbs
T he past tense of regular verbs is formed by adding the ending -ed to the end of the verb. Ask → I asked (simple past tense) → I had asked (pluperfect past tense) The past tense of irregular verbs has no rules. You have to learn the three forms of the verb - infinitive, past and past participle . drive (infinitive) → drove (past) → driven (past participle). Irregular verbs and their past forms are usually described in tables for better understanding. In the first column we put the verb in the infinitive (i.e. in its basic form), in the second column we find the past form and in the third column the past participle , which is used for example in the past perfect. For beginners, it will be better to work with basic irregular verbs such as ser, estar, hacer, comer, beber, escribir, etc. Then they can continue to add other verbs little by little each week. Don't be scared, it's not as complicated as it seems.
