Identify the irregular past tense 1
Key Notes:
1. What is the Past Tense?
- The past tense is used to describe actions that have already happened.
- Verbs change form to show the past tense.
2. Regular vs. Irregular Past Tense Verbs
- Regular past tense verbs are formed by adding -ed to the base form (e.g., “walk” → “walked”).
- Irregular past tense verbs do not follow this rule. They change in different ways, and we have to learn their past forms.
3. What are Irregular Past Tense Verbs?
- Irregular verbs do not add -ed to form the past tense.
- Instead, the spelling of the verb may change completely.
- Examples:
- Go → Went
- Eat → Ate
- Buy → Bought

- Example Sentences:
- Yesterday, I went to the park. (“Went” is the past tense of “go.”)
- She ate an apple for lunch. (“Ate” is the past tense of “eat.”)
- He took his book to school. (“Took” is the past tense of “take.”)
