For the background to my writing challenge, please read my first blog by clicking the following link – http://wp.me/p1x6Ui-4. If you would prefer to dive straight into note 57, then please read on…
REGULAR VERBS
The Pocket Writer’s Handbook explains that verbs are called regular if they conform to the regular pattern i.e. “it’s past tense and past participle are formed by adding –ed to the base form.”
Base form of the Verb: To look
Present tense – look
Past tense/past participle – looked
IRREGULAR VERBS
The Pocket Writer’s Handbook also explains that verbs are called irregular “if they do not follow the standard pattern of adding -ed to the base form.” Please see example below:
Base form of the Verb: To find
Present tense – find
Past tense/past participle – found (no -ed at the end)
Coming up tomorrow
Tomorrow I am going to blog about present and past participles. I was going to blog about them today, but everything I read mentioned regular and irregular verbs, so I thought I’d blog about those first.
Hope you’ve had a fantastic weekend. It’s been very hot here today.
Until tomorrow…
Sandra
