They look the same in the past tense and are easy to form. Usually all you have to do is add the letters <em>-ed<\/em>\u00a0at the end of the word (walked, worked, laughed, etc.)\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Irregular verbs, though, don\u2019t follow that pattern<\/strong>. You can recognize them because they look so different in the past tense (ate, sat, built, went, etc.)\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But don&#8217;t worry, this guide will help you learn to recognize English irregular verbs and how to remember them easily.

Memorize the Most Common Irregular Verbs First<\/h2>\n<p>To go a bit deeper, in English verb is irregular <strong>when it doesn\u2019t end in -ed<\/strong> in the <b>simple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/english\/past-tense-vs-past-participle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">past tense<\/a><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/english\/past-tense-vs-past-participle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a0and <\/a><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/english\/past-tense-vs-past-participle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">past participle<\/a> form<\/b>. Not sure what those are? Here\u2019s a simple way of looking at it:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <strong>simple past tense<\/strong> describes any action that takes place before right now.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Regular verb<\/strong>: I <em>worked<\/em> for 40 hours last week.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Irregular verb:<\/strong>\u00a0I <em>spoke<\/em> to my best friend yesterday.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The <strong>past participle<\/strong>\u00a0is used in other English tenses that have an auxiliary (or &#8220;helping&#8221;) verb. For example, the past perfect tense uses the auxiliary verb &#8220;have&#8221; + the past participle of your main verb to describe an action that happened <em>and<\/em> ended in the past.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Regular verb:<\/strong>\u00a0I <em>had worked\u00a0<\/em>for the company for only 6 months\u00a0when\u00a0I\u00a0decided to leave.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Irregular verb:<\/strong>\u00a0I <em>had spoken\u00a0<\/em>at over 50\u00a0schools by the time I turned 30.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Not all irregular verbs are commonly used. You might never use a word like <i>broadcast<\/i>, and you&#8217;ll probably only see the word <i>abide<\/i> as part of the phrase <i>law-abiding citizen<\/i> (that\u2019s someone who follows the law).<\/p>\n<p>Instead of going through the list in alphabetical order, focus on the most commonly used words first. Start with these very common words:<\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-1048888\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-1048888\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th

You\u2019ll need to know their irregular forms to use them in everyday conversation. You can also find more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gingersoftware.com\/content\/grammar-rules\/verbs\/list-of-irregular-verbs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">complete irregular verb lists<\/a> online.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>2. Learn All New Vocabulary with Its Tense Forms<\/h2>\n<p>You can make irregular verbs easier for yourself in the future by just learning them right from the beginning. Every time you learn a new verb, learn its tenses as well.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t just learn that <em>to steal<\/em>\u00a0means to take something without permission. You should also learn that its simple past tense is <i>stole<\/i> and its past participle is <i>stolen<\/i>.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Turn Memorizing Irregular Verbs Into a Game<\/h2>\n<p>You might have no problem remembering the irregular verbs using flashcards, but if you\u2019re having trouble why not turn it into a game?<\/p>\n<p>There are a few games online that can make remembering the verbs fun and easy. The British Council has <a href=\"https:\/\/learnenglish.britishcouncil.org\/en\/english-grammar\/verbs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">a quiz-like game<\/a>, the MacMillan Dictionary has a <a href=\"https:\/\/macmillaneducation.my.salesforce-sites.com\/help\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">verb wheel<\/a>, and Quia has a game <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quia.com\/cb\/8111.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">similar to Jeopardy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You can even make your own game with index cards: write the verb and their past or past participle (or both) on separate index cards. Then turn all the cards over in front of you with their backs up.<\/p>\n<p>Now you can play a memory game. Turn a card over, then another. If the two cards match, leave them face up. If they don\u2019t, turn them back over and try again.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Group common irregular verbs together<\/h2>\n<p>Irregular verbs don\u2019t follow any rules, which is what makes them so hard to remember. But <a href=\"https:\/\/blogdelingles.com\/irregular-verb-patterns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">some irregular verbs follow a similar <i>pattern<\/i><\/a>. Instead of learning the verbs in alphabetical order, try putting them in similar groups.<\/p>\n<p>How you group the verbs depends on whatever is easiest for you, but here are a few suggestions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Verbs that remain the same in the present, past and past participle.\n<ul>\n<li>Examples: <i>cost<\/i> and <i>set<\/i>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Verbs that are the same in the past forms, but not the present.\n<ul>\n<li>Examples: <i>breed, bred<\/i> and <i>shoot, shot<\/i>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Verbs that end in <i>-en<\/i> in the past participle.\n<ul>\n<li>Examples: <i>speak, spoken<\/i>\u00a0and <i>wake, woken<\/i>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Look through the list of irregular verbs and find patterns of your own!<\/p>\n<h2>5. Learn Irregular Verbs in Sentences<\/h2>\n<p>It might be easier to remember the words when they\u2019re part of a sentence of a phrase. Learn words by putting them into sentences, and you\u2019ll also be learning how to use them correctly.<\/p>\n<p>To learn the word <i>see<\/i>, for example, you can use sentences like this: \u201cI <i>see<\/i> the bee, I <i>saw<\/i> the snow, but I\u2019ve never <i>seen<\/i> a bee in the snow!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Be creative\u2014the weirder the sentences are, the easier they will be to remember. You can use rhymes, keep the sentences short or create an entire story using as many verbs as you can. How you do it is up to you, as long as it helps you remember the verb forms.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Learn Irregular Verbs with Songs<\/h2>\n<p>Another great way to give the words more meaning is through using music. You can find many songs for remembering irregular verbs on YouTube. Here are three of the best:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FEWrfgSGUu8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FluencyMC<\/a> uses a catchy rap song to teach the forms of some of the most common irregular verbs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Ov2v50af7bo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">adorable cat video<\/a> tells a story while teaching the verbs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AKaD2btS1A4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Schoolhouse Rock<\/a> is a classic cartoon with fantastic music you\u2019ll be singing for days after you hear it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Music videos (and videos in general) are helpful for learning these verbs because you hear and see each word in context. If you enjoy learning English words from videos and music, then you can search for music videos online on places like YouTube and make your own study playlist.<\/p>\n<p>There is also the language learning program <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/english\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FluentU<\/a>. <p><strong>FluentU<\/strong> takes authentic videos\u2014like music videos, movie trailers, news and inspiring talks\u2014and turns them into personalized language learning lessons.<\/p>\r\n<p><\/p> \r\n<p>You can try FluentU for free for 2 weeks.

Leave Lists Where You Can See Them<\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes just memorizing is the best way to go. To make this easier for you, divide up the verbs in groups of 5 to 10 words (you can group them alphabetically, by how common they are or by the groups we suggested earlier in this article).<\/p>\n<p>Write the verbs out on paper, and leave them in spots where you can see them throughout the day. Tape the list up behind your coffee maker, on your table, or even on the bathroom wall! Looking at the list just a few minutes a day can be enough to remember them.<\/p>\n<p>Once you feel that you\u2019ve remembered the full list, move on to the next group of verbs.<\/p>\n<h2>8. Ask People to Correct You<\/h2>\n<p>Nothing beats practicing\u2014but practicing correctly is important too! Whenever you\u2019re speaking to an English speaker, ask them to correct you if you make a mistake when you speak. This is great not just for irregular verbs, but for your English speaking in general.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you can accept their correction without getting upset or discouraged. Remember, they\u2019re helping you!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After reading all these tips, that list of irregular verbs doesn\u2019t look so scary anymore, does it?<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>And One More Thing...<\/h2>\r\n<p>\r\nIf you like learning English through movies and online media, you should also check out FluentU. <a data-bid=\"1\" data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/try\/april-sale-3331\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FluentU lets you learn English from popular talk shows, catchy music videos and funny commercials<\/a>, as you can see here:\r\n<\/p>\r\n<div id=\"attachment_1990\" style=\"width: 317px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-bid=\"1\" data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/try\/april-sale-3331\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1990\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1990\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/site\/\/4\/English-5.png\" alt=\"learn-english-with-videos\" width=\"307\" height=\"546\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1990\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">If you want to watch it, the FluentU app has probably got it.<\/p><\/div>\r\n<p>\r\nThe FluentU app and website makes it really easy to watch English videos.
