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

3. If the verb ends with a consonant followed by ‘y’, the ‘y’ is changed to ‘i’ before adding ‘ed’. For example:

PRESENT TENSE	PAST TENSE
Carry	Carried
Hurry	Hurried
Study	Studied

4. If the verb ends with a vowel followed by ‘y’, simply add ‘ed’. For example:

PRESENT TENSE	PAST TENSE
Play	Played
Enjoy	Enjoyed

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.

Reply to Swiss Miss

I’m guessing that the software program autocorrected to capital letters.

Hi, first of all thanks a lot for putting out this list.
Just want to point out that there is a typo in “Pull” “Pulled” “Puled” conjugation.
Have a great day!

Sol

First of all, thank you for the list. However, I have a question: isn’t “Find” an irregular verb?

vicreative@gmail.com

The verb ‘find’ in the list of regular verbs ( image 2) needs correction.
Find is not a regular verb. The past as well as the the past participle form is different from the base form.

Image 5 I believe the verb in the present form is ‘Explain.’ I assume it was a typo there.
