100 basic irregular verbs of the English language. Regular and irregular English verbs

About 70% of the time, when we want to explain ourselves in another language, we need to use an irregular verb? Even if you are completely confident that you have understood the basics of English grammar and have some understanding of basic tenses, you still experience headache when studying them.

Most words follow one rule (that's why they are called regular) - add the ending -ed to the verb and you get the past tense: “I work, and yesterday I work ed"("I work, and I worked yesterday").

More than 190 English verbs are called incorrect because they do not lend themselves to any norms. It could have been worse, since up until the 12th century there were three times as many in Old English. Over the years, under the influence of a group of Indo-European languages, English has become noticeably simpler.

Such words change differently from correct ones, because they obey the norms of the language according to the old model. In other words, such irregular verbs are just “shards” of a long-forgotten past. Why did they survive? According to famous linguists, this is due to the frequency of their use. The young generation of English speakers cannot forget the pattern. If a word begins to be rarely used, then it is separated from its archaic form, and step by step begins to go over to the side of the “Jedi”, that is, the correct verbs.

Verbs with a creak become “like everyone else.” In different English-speaking countries, this phenomenon does not occur simultaneously, so a complete list of them is not available.

For all lovers of American English, we have prepared a list where they are correct in American English and incorrect in British. Of course, not all the words presented below are included in the TOP 100.

6 basic forms and what they are eaten with

Let's get acquainted with the basic forms of the verb, which predetermine the entire tense-aspect system in English. They will be shown in the table below using the correct mix (mix) and the incorrect fly (fly).

We will not carefully describe each one, because you want to see a list of one hundred irregular verbs. Moreover, we are only interested in two of them: the past and the past participle. But first, let's take a very brief overview of the other four.

Basic

This is literally its appearance in the dictionary. Let's say you found the word swam (swam, swam), opened the dictionary to see what it means. To continue your search, instead of translating, the dictionary will give a link to the base form - sing (sing).

Real

It is born directly from the basic one, with the exception of to be (to be, located). The main difference between basic and present is that in the 3rd person singular the ending -s or -es is added to the basic. For example, take (take, take) - takes (takes).

Infinitives

They are used as a complement to certain words that answer the question “what to do.” For example: “I want to see your friends." (I want see your friends)

Present participle

Most often, participles are used after to be (to be, is) in progressive tenses: “I’m flying to Prague tomorrow.” (I'm flying to Prague tomorrow)

Past

It is used exclusively in the “simplest” tense - Past Simple (past simple). As mentioned a little above, there are only two types: correct and incorrect.

The correct one is built by adding the ending -ed to the base (or just -d if the base ends in -e):

Everyone is used to looking for the wrong one in English textbooks in the second column. Some patterns exist, for example:

We invite you to look for patterns from our list of 100 irregular verbs in the English language in order to learn and fall in love with them faster.

Past participle

It also has two types of participles, like the past. See above.

Regular participles are formed by adding the ending -ed to the base. In order to distinguish between the participle and the past, you need to remember that the past can be used on its own, and the participle only after to be (to be, be) or have (to have).

Irregular past participles are also unpredictable. In textbooks they look for it in the third column, hence the name “third form of an irregular verb.” Fortunately, a third of irregular participles end in -en or simply -n:

Basic form	Past participle
choose (choose)	chosen
see (to see)	seen

Usually past participles are used in perfect tenses with the helper word have: “I have already chosen this suit.” (I have already chosen this suit).

TOP 100

So, we come to the most delicious topic in the article. The next 100 “irregular words” were divided into two groups: simple (1 - 50) and complex (51 - 100), and they also contain transcription.

Why them? They were selected based on their syntactic and semantic richness. This means that they are the main link in the construction of stable and authentic phrases.

The verb to be is the #1 helper for continuous tenses and for forming passive voice. Therefore, it is he who is in first place on the tablet. All verbs in the table are given in alphabetical order, with translation and transcription in square brackets […].

Here you can find a table of irregular English verbs with translation into Russian and transcription, videos on learning and memorizing irregular verbs, links.

There is a special category of verbs in the English language that does not follow generally accepted rules when forming the past participle. They are usually called “wrong”. Unlike “regular” verbs, which are appended with the ending –ed to form the past participle, these verbs either remain unchanged or take unusual forms that are not always easy to remember. For example:

put – put – put;
drive – drove – driven.

If the first verb is easy to learn and use in sentences, then the second one has to be learned directly by memorization.

Where did such difficulties with some verbs come from? Scientists have concluded that these are some kind of “fossils” remaining in the language from ancient times. During its development, the English language adopted a large number of words from other European languages, but some words remained unchanged. It is this category that irregular verbs belong to.

I’ll tell you a secret: regular and irregular verbs of the English language are the most “favorite” topic of teachers and students when studying English grammar. Fate would have it that the most popular and frequently used in English speech words. For example, the famous phrase “to be or not to be” also contains an irregular verb. And that's the beauty of the British :)

Just take a second and imagine how wonderful it would be to add an ending -ed to main verbs and get the past tense. And now all English students are destined to take part in an exciting attraction - memorizing a convenient table of irregular verbs in the English language with translation and transcription.

1. IRREGULAR VERBS

Meet their royal majesty irregular verbs. You won’t have to rant about them for a long time. You just need to accept it and remember that each verb has its own forms. And it is almost impossible to detect any logical connection. All that remains is to put the table in front of you and learn, just as you once memorized the English alphabet.

It’s good that there are verbs where all three forms coincide and are pronounced the same (put-put-put). But there are especially harmful forms that are written as twins, but are pronounced differently (read - read - read). Just like choosing only the best tea leaves the best varieties for the royal tea party, we collected the most commonly used irregular verbs, arranged them alphabetically, visually conveniently arranged them in a table - we did everything to make you smile and...teach. In general, only conscientious cramming will save humanity from ignorance of English irregular verbs.

And to make memorization not so boring, you can create your own algorithms. For example, to begin with, write down all the verbs where the three forms coincide. Then those where the two forms coincide (these are the majority, by the way). Or, let’s say, today you learn words starting with the letter “b” (don’t think anything bad), and tomorrow - a different word. No limits to imagination for those in love with English!

And without leaving the cash register, we suggest you take a test on your knowledge of irregular verbs.

After this video you will love learning irregular verbs! Yo! :) ...for those who are impatient, it is advisable to watch from 38 seconds

For fans of the advanced teacher and rap lovers, we offer a backing track for a personal way of learning irregular verbs in karaoke style, and in the future, perhaps, for recording a new personal video with your teacher/teacher/class. Weak or not weak?

2. REGULAR VERBS

When the most difficult part in the form of irregular verbs is mastered (we want to believe that this is the case), you can crack the regular verbs of the English language like nuts. They are called so because they form the past tense form and participle II in exactly the same way. In order not to overload your brain once again, we’ll simply designate them as form 2 and form 3. And both of them are obtained using the ending - ed.

For example: look - looked,work - worked

2.1 And for those who like to get to the bottom of everything, you can conduct a brief educational program about the mysterious term “participle II”. Firstly, why participle? Because how else can we designate a three-headed dragon, which has the characteristics of 3 parts of speech at once: verb, adjective and adverb. Accordingly, such a form is always found WITH PARTS (at once with three).

Secondly, why II? Because there is also I . Quite logical  Only participle I has an ending -ing, and participle II has the ending -ed in regular verbs, and any ending in irregular ones ( written , built , come ).

2.2 And everything would be fine, but there are some nuances.

If the verb ends in -y, then you need an ending -ied(study - studied).
. If the verb consists of one syllable and ends in a consonant, then it is doubled (stop - stopped).
. The final consonant l is always doubled (travel -travelled)
. If the verb ends in -e, then you only need to add -d(translate - translated)

For those who are especially picky and attentive, you can also add pronunciation features. For example, after voiceless consonants the ending is pronounced “t”, after voiced consonants - “d”, after vowels “id”.

Perhaps you have heard/invented/read/seen a method that allows you to reduce effort to a minimum and maximize the efficiency of memorizing irregular verbs, but for some reason we don’t know it yet. Share not only your smile, but also your cramming options to please each other with something interesting

Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for shameless and daring cramming! This is how you can remember the most commonly used irregular verbs with pronunciation, which we have carefully selected for you, just as the leaves of the best varieties of tea are selected. Autumn is in full swing - brew some tea and let's go over the 3 forms of irregular verbs. Let's go!

Good to know that some of these verbs have the same spelling and pronunciation of all 3 forms, but there is also an insidious verb read, 2 and 3 forms of which are read . So pay attention! And don't screw this up!

Basic irregular verbs with the same forms

So, at first it will be much easier to memorize the above-mentioned irregular verbs of the English language than to cram everything. Here they are:

bet bet
burst explode)
cast cast a shadow, drop
cost cost, estimate
cut cut
fit fit (about clothes)
hit hit, strike
hurt injure, hurt, damage
let allow, allow
put put, put
quit leave, leave
rid rid
set install, install, configure
shed[ʃed] to shed (tears)
shit shit
shut[ʃʌt] close
slit cut
split divide, split, split
spread distribute
wet wet

In general, there are as many as 638 irregular verbs in the English language. But, fortunately, about 200+ are mostly used, and of these, the 100 most popular ones are used. Of course, you can learn all 638 and write a bestseller or retell Shakespeare in English. But do you really need that?

3 more verbs, the 1st and 3rd forms of which are the same:

come came come come
become became become become
run ran run run

Ways to form irregular verbs

So, easy! If the verb in Past Simple and Past Participle does not have the ending “- ed"(I felt / she has forgiven) - then he wrong, that is, verbs forming the Past Simple and Past Participle forms don't add ending «- ed» to the infinitive form, but are formed in other wonderful ways.

Like this, for example:

• Change root vowels on " o"and adding graduation To 3 form:

break[brek] br o ke br o k en["brəuk(ə)n] (c)break
choose ch o se ch o se n["tʃəuz(ə)n] choose
forget forg o t forg o t ten forget
freeze fr o ze fr o ze n freeze, freeze
get g o t gott en["gɔtn] receive
speak sp o ke sp o ke n["spəuk(ə)n] talk
steal st o le st o le n["stəulən] steal
tear t o re t o r n tear
wake w o ke w o ke n["wəuk(ə)n] wake up
wear w o re w o r n put on

• Change root vowels on " o» only in 2 verb form:

drive dr o ve driven ["drɪv(ə)n] to drive a car
ride r o de ridden ["rɪd(ə)n] to ride on horseback
rise r o se risen ["rɪz(ə)n] rise
write wr o te written ["rɪt(ə)n] write

• Appearing in 2 form graduation «- ew", and in 3 — «- own"

blow bl ew bl own blow
fly fl ew fl own fly
grow gr ew gr own grow, grow
know kn ew kn own know
throw[θrəu]thr ew[θru:]thr own[θrəun] to throw

• Changing endings 2 And 3 forms on "- ought" And "- aught»

bring br ought br ought bring
buy b ought b ought buy
catch c aught c aught catch
fight f ought f ought fight
seek s ought s ought search
teach t aught t aught teach
think[θɪŋk] th ought[θɔ:t] th ought[θɔ:t] to think

• Change " ee" on " e» in 2 And 3 verb form + change in pronunciation

keep k e pt k e pt hold
sleep sl e pt sl e pt sleep
feel f e lt f e lt feel
bleed bl e dbl e d bleed
feed f e d f e d feed
meet m e t m e t meet
lead l e d l e d lead

• Alternating vowels at the root of the word in all 3 forms according to the principle “ i-a-u»:

begin beg a nbeg u n start
drink dr a nk dr u nk drink
ring r a ng r u ng call
shrink[ʃrɪŋk] shr a nk [ʃræŋk] shr u nk [ʃrʌŋk] to shrink
sing s a ng s u ng sing
sink s a nk s u nk to sink, to sink
spring spr a ng spr u ng to arise, jump out
swim sw a m sw u m swim

• And now! The most incorrect English verbs at all! They are so wrong that Dr. Evil himself (from the Austin Powers films) would be shocked! They defy explanation and logic, they do whatever they want, in a word, they are simply destroyers of the system! But what are the necessary and useful ones:

be was/were been to be, to be
do did done do
go went gone go
have had had have
make made made do, manufacture

• Is there some more incorrect and at the same time correct verbs, kind of inverted verbs. Check it out!

We recommend remembering the form that is most familiar to you. After all, even the verb “ work" has irregular forms Past Indefinite and Past Participle (in both cases wrought), but it is outdated and practically not used. Create your own lists of irregular verbs and distribute them into categories that are convenient for you to memorize. And everything will be just fine!

Memory game

We are talking about the analogy of a card “fool”. Irregular verbs in English are written on the cards, each form on a separate card. One deck contains about 20 verbs, that's 60 cards. Players are dealt 6 cards. The one with the initial form of the verb goes first. The next one must put the first or second form of this verb, or another verb in the initial form. For example: the first player makes a move with “go”, the second must put “went” or “gone”, or another verb in the initial form, for example, “come”. Further - by analogy. There is also a joker - this is a verb in which all forms are the same, for example “hit-hit-hit”. Joker can be changed top card, that is, order the form of the verb that the owner of the Joker needs. If there are no suitable cards, then you need to take from the deck until you get one. The deck is disassembled to the end, and the one who does not have a single card left wins. The game is going great! Try it!

We hope that learning English irregular verbs will now become easier! And so that you have no doubts, we invite you to take a trial lesson! Don't be shy ;)
