GRAMMAR


An irregular verb has a past form or a past participle which is not formed by adding '-ed'.

A few irregular verbs have regular past forms, but two past participle forms, one of which is irregular. The commoner one is given first.



Some irregular verbs have two past forms and two past participle forms. If there is a regular form, it is given first in the following table, unless it is much less common than the irregular one.



With a few verbs, different forms are used for different meanings. For example, the past form and the past participle of the verb 'hang' is 'hung' for most of its meanings. However, 'hanged' is used when it means 'executed by hanging'. See entries at ↑ bid, ↑ hang, ↑ lay - lie, ↑ speed, ↑ weave, and ↑ wind.

The following table shows verbs which have irregular past forms and past participles.



Note that 'gotten' is often used instead of 'got' as the past participle of 'get' in spoken American English. See entry at ↑ gotten.
