Regular Verb Definition
Unlike irregular verbs, those verbs that form their past participle with ‘d’ or ‘ed’ are regular verbs. These verbs do not undergo substantial changes while changing forms between tenses.
- If the verb ends with a vowel, only ‘d’ is added. For example:
| PRESENT TENSE | PAST TENSE |
| Share | Shared |
| Scare | Scared |
| Dare | Dared |
- If the verb ends with a consonant, ‘ed’ is added. For example:
| PRESENT TENSE | PAST TENSE |
| Want | Wanted |
| Shout | Shouted |
| Kill | Killed |

Salut 👋cette liste est superb
Thanks for the extensive lists. But: Why did you write the verbs with capital letters? I. E. for German speakers, this can be very confusing.
I’m guessing that the software program autocorrected to capital letters.
