If you follow my instructions and the pace I set, I ´m sure that you will learn how to use the irregular verbs in English.
I advise you not to learn the list by heart. You needn´t study the list, but work on the list, making groups with the verbs that are similar in the way they make the past and past participle forms. By doing this, you´ll find out that the irregular verbs follow some patterns. If you know these patterns and make groups, this will make it easier to memorise them and learn them. Also make your own sentences with them and put them into context.
1) Verbs with all 3 forms identical - HIT HIT HIT
2) Verbs with all 3 forms different :
- Verbs with –N in the Past Participle - TAKE TOOK TAKEN
- Past with -ew, past participle with -own - KNOW KNEW KNOWN
- Vowels change - RING RANG RUNG
3) Simple Past and past participle are similar:
- Long “e” changes to short “e” - KEEP KEPT KEPT
- -ought and –aught endings - TEACH TAUGHT TAUGHT
4) Infinitive and past participle are similar - COME CAME COME
5) Infinitive and Simple Past are similar - BEAT BEAT BEATEN
6) The REALLY Irregular Verbs - BE WAS/WERE BEE
