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

Dear Ethel
I’m writing to tell you about something that happened yesterday. I __________ up at the usual time – about 10 am – __________ a shower and __________ breakfast. I __________ a big bowl of cereal and some toast and watched TV for a while. Then I __________ into the kitchen where I __________ a funny noise. I __________ it __________ from behind the cooker. I __________ my tool box and moved the cooker out of the way.
The noise __________ louder but I couldn’t see anything. I __________ my uncle to ask his advice. He __________ that he __________ it could be a gas leak. When I __________ this I just panicked! I __________ the phone down, __________ outside, __________ in my car and __________ to the local police station. I __________ them about my gas leak but the constable __________ his patience with me. He __________ that I should have phoned the gas company. He __________ his report, then __________ the gas company for me.
Then I remembered that my house doesn’t have gas – only electricity! I __________ really stupid and __________ that the constable would be angry with me for wasting his time, so I __________ out of the police station while he __________ still on the phone. I __________ home to try to find out what the noise __________. On the way I __________ a newspaper and I __________ about an escaped llama that __________ out of the city safari park last Wednesday.
When I __________ home I __________ my key in the door, turned it, __________ inside and straight away __________ that funny noise again. I __________ my breath and opened the door slowly. Guess what? I __________ the llama hiding in my cupboard! I __________ him stay and he __________ in my garden last night. The snoring __________ so loud! This morning I __________ him back to the safari park. They __________ really pleased to see him again and __________ me a reward of £50!
Hope you are well. Write soon and let me know how you are. Your friend,
Alan
