Great site to keep my english skills updated for work and travel. I am really enjoying the lessons!
This is a list of some irregular verbs in English. Of course, there are many others, but these are the more common irregular verbs.
Each entry includes the base or bare infinitive first, followed by the Simple Past (V2) form and the Past Participle (V3) form. Taking some time to make sentences using each irregular verb form will help you to use these verbs correctly when speaking and writing. Simply reading through this list will help you to recognize an irregular verb when you see one.
