Feeling a bit Irregular with your Verbs? Are you down? Feeling irregular? Out of sorts ? Not yourself lately? Try taking an irregular verb or two and having a rest... Enough of this advertisement-inspired silliness. As you know, English is a Germanic language, and thus -- like all of the Germanic languages in fact -- it contains a relatively large number of irregular verbs . (If it's any consolation German and Dutch do too.) This means that, to speak the language properly, you have to learn all of the different parts: Infinitive -- for most of the verbs, the infinitive will either be the same or very similar to the verb in all of its present simple forms, except for the mandatory "-s/-es" for the third person singular. Past-tense conjugation -- for all of the verbs, this will be the only form that you will need to make references to things, events, times, etc. in the simple past. Most of the changes will be made in this category. Past participle -
