Irregular verbs.

verbs that we add ‘t’ instead of ‘ed’ when writing the past tense of some words!!!!!!

Remember we add ‘ed’ to

short vowel words (a,e,i,o,u) ending in two consonants we

simply add the letters e and

d.hand - handed

post- posted

Remember we double the last letter Before we add ‘ed’ to words with a short vowel,

ending with one consonant.

hop - hoppedbeg - begged

And we simply add the letter ‘d’ When words

end in ‘e’.

hike- hikedprance- pranced

WHEN changing some verbs to past tense, a ‘t’ is used instead

of ‘ed’. These are called irregular verbs.

Let’s have a look at some.
