Table "Three forms of the verb in the English language." Verbs are right and wrong

English is the language of exceptions, where in the study of a new grammatical rule students face a dozen but at which this rule does not work. One of these rules is the use of irregular verbs in the past tense. For many students of English this topic is a nightmare. But without them it is impossible, because these are the realities of English! However, there is good news - modern English is gradually getting rid of irregular verbs, replacing them with the right ones. Why and how - we will consider in the article.

Why are English verbs wrong?

The difficulty in using irregular verbs is experienced not only by foreigners, but also by carriers themselves. But nevertheless, for non-English philologists, the non-standard of this part of speech is not a flaw, but an occasion for pride. They believe that irregular verbs are a cultural monument that perpetuates the history of the English language. The explanation of this fact is the German roots of the origin of irregular verbs, which makes British English the traditional version of the language. For comparison, Americans are trying hard to get rid of the wrong form, changing it into the right one. Therefore, the list of non-standard verbs increases for those who teach both versions of the language. Thus, the wrong version of the ancient, which is reflected in prose and poetry.

How many forms does the verb have in English?

Speaking of verbs in English, it should be noted that they have 3 forms:

• Infinitive, it is also the initial form of the verb ;
• Past Participle I, or Participle I, - this form is used in the simple past tense (Past Simple) and the 2 nd and 3 rd cases of conditional inclination (Conditional of the 2-d and of the 3-d case);
• Past Participle II, or Participle II, for a perfect perfect time ( Past Perfect), Passive Voice and Conditional of the 3-d case.

The table "Three forms of the verb in the English language" is presented later in the article.

What are right and wrong verbs? Rules of education

Correct verbs are those in which the past form (Past Simple) and the form of Participle II (Participle II) are formed by adding the ending -ed to the initial form. The table "Three forms of the verb in the English language." The correct verbs "will help to better understand this rule.

I workED (I worked)	I helpED (I helped)
You workED (You worked)	You helpED (You helped)
He workED (He worked)	He helpEd (He helped)
She workedED (She worked)	She helpED (She helped)
It workedED (He worked)	It helpED (He helped)
We workED (We worked)	WE helpED (We helped)
They workED (They worked)	They helpED (They helped)

When forming the forms Participle I and Participle II there are some features:

• If the verb ends with -e, then adding -ed does not double it;
• Consonant in monosyllabic verbs when adding the ending -ed is duplicated. Example: stop - stopped (stop - stopped);
• If the verb ends with the letter -y with the preceding consonant, then y changes to i before adding -ed.

Wrong are called verbs that do not obey the general rule when forming temporary forms. In English, they include the forms of the verbs of the simple past tense (Past Simple) and Participle II (Participle II).

Wrong verbs are formed with the help of:

• Ablaut, at which the root changes. Example: swim - swam - swum (swim - floated - swam);

• The use of suffixes other than the language accepted in the grammar. Example: do-did-done (do-do-do-do);

• Identical, or unchangeable form. Example: cut-cut-cut (cut-cut-cut-cut).

Due to the fact that every irregular verb has its own form of change, they should be learned by heart.

In total there are 218 irregular verbs in the English language, about 195 of which are actively used.

Recent studies in the field of language show that rare verbs gradually disappear from the language due to the replacement of the 2nd and 3rd forms with the forms of the correct verb, that is, the addition of the ending - ed. This fact is confirmed by the table "Three forms of the verb in English" - the table represents a number of verbs that have both a regular and an irregular form.

table of irregular verbs

The table "Three forms of irregular verbs in English" includes the most frequently used verbs. The table shows 3 forms and translation.

Wrong verbs came in modern English from Old English, on which Angles and Saxons spoke - British tribes.

Wrong verbs descended from so-called strong verbs, each of which had its own type of conjugation.

Researchers at Harvard found that most of the verbs used are wrong, and they will remain so, since they are used more often than others.

In the history of English there is also a phenomenon when the correct verb becomes wrong. For example, sneak, having 2 forms - sneaked and snuck.

Problems with verbs are not only for students of English, but also for speakers, since even they get into embarrassing situations when it comes to this difficult part of speech.

One of them is Jennifer Garner, who all her life was sure that the verb sneak is correct.

She was corrected by the presenter of one of the programs, in which the actress took part. With a dictionary in his hands, he pointed to Jennifer's mistake.

Therefore, do not be upset if you make mistakes when using irregular verbs. The main thing is that they do not become systematic.
