This lesson consists of a complete list of irregular verbs in alphabetical order. First of all let’s look into what irregular verbs are.
There are mainly two types of verbs.
They are, Regular Verbs and Irregular Verbs.
In regular verbs, we add -d, -ed or -ied to form their past simple and past participle.
For example;
Simple present | Simple past | Past participle |
scare | scared | scared |
work | worked | worked |
study | studied | studied |
But, irregular verbs are different. Their infinitive or simple present, past simple and past participle are sometimes the same and sometimes different.
Following is a list of irregular verbs in alphabetical order. To practise the usage of irregular verbs you need to do some worksheets which include the verbs in the following list of irregular verbs. Please click the link below for free online and downloadable irregular verbs worksheets.
