Learning Irregular Verbs

Irregular Verbs are probably the most difficult verbs to learn because they do not follow any rules, they are the wild children of the English languages, and because of it, I adore them.

Since there are no rules, the only way to learn irregular verbs is to commit them to memory. Use them as much as possible so that they don’t escape the steal trap of your mind.

Let us begin by learning some now…

Infinitive	Simple Past	Past Principle
Arise	Arose	Arisen
Awake	Awoke	Awakened
Backslide	Backslid	Backslidden
Be	Was , Were	Been
Bear	Bore	Born / Borne
Beat	Beat	Beaten
Become	Became	become

Good, let’s start with those and see how far we get.
