Você pode ter encontrado verbos em inglês em que o pretérito não é o que você esperava. Por exemplo, o passado de “eat” não é “eated”. Caso você tenha visto um verbo que não segue esse padrão do pretérito, então encontrou algo chamado de verbo irregular em inglês - Irregular Verbs. Para usá-los corretamente, você deve memorizar suas formas de passado simples (Simple Past) e particípio passado (Past Participle).
Qual a diferença entre verbo regular e irregular em inglês?
A principal diferença é que os verbos regulares seguem um padrão de conjugação. Para formar o passado simples e o particípio passado, geralmente adiciona-se “-ed” ao verbo no infinitivo. Exemplo: "Start" - "Started" - "Started".
Já os verbos irregulares não há um padrão fixo, é necessário memorizar o Simple Past e Past Participle. Por exemplo: “eat” - “ate” - “eaten”. Para ajudar na sua memorização, dividimos as irregularidades mais comuns em grupos.
