Elenco dei verbi irregolari

Verbi irregolari

In inglese, il past simple dei verbi regolari si forma aggiungendo il suffosso -ed alla forma base. Tuttavia, molti verbi di uso commune sono irregolari. Questo significa che non formano il past simple aggiungendo -ed, ma hanno una forma propria, che va imparata caso per caso.

Many common verbs in English are irregular when they are used in past tenses. The list of common irregular verbs below list below includes the verb infinitive, the past form, and the past participle.

Some verbs have more than one past form. For example, the verb ‘to learn’ can be written as ‘learned’ or ‘learnt’ and the verbs ‘to burn’, ‘to dream’ and ‘to smell’ follow the same pattern. The past form ending with ‘t’ (learnt) is usually the original form, and the form ending with ‘ed’ (burned) is the modern alternative. Both forms are now considered to be correct.
