Identify the irregular past tense II

  • The past tense tells us about actions that have already happened.
  • Irregular past tense verbs don’t follow the usual -ed rule for forming the past tense.

  • These are verbs that change in unusual ways to show past actions.
  • Here are additional common irregular verbs and their past tense forms: Present Verb Irregular Past Tense Break Broke Bring Brought Build Built Choose Chose Drive Drove Fly Flew Give Gave Know Knew Speak Spoke Swim Swam Write Wrote

  • Tip 1: Irregular verbs don’t end with -ed in the past tense.
  • Tip 2: Memorize common irregular verbs and their past tense forms.
  • Tip 3: If a verb looks completely different from its present form, it’s likely an irregular verb.

  • Identify the irregular verbs in these sentences:
    • I broke my toy yesterday. (Broke is the past tense of break.)
    • She drove to school last week. (Drove is the past tense of drive.)
    • He chose a blue shirt. (Chose is the past tense of choose.)
  • These verbs show actions that happened in the past but do not end in -ed.

    1. Build → _ (Built)
    2. Fly → _ (Flew)
    3. Write → _ (Wrote)
