Irregular verbs in English grammar are verbs that do not follow the regular pattern of conjugation in the past tense and past participle forms. Unlike regular verbs, which simply add "-ed" to the base form to create the past tense (e.g., "talk" becomes "talked"), irregular verbs undergo changes that can be quite different from their base forms. These changes often need to be memorized as they do not adhere to a single, predictable rule.

For example, the verb "go" has the past tense form "went" and the past participle "gone." Similarly, "see" becomes "saw" in the past tense and "seen" as the past participle. Some irregular verbs have the same form for the base, past tense, and past participle, such as "cut," "put," and "set." Mastering irregular verbs is essential for proper verb conjugation in English, as they are commonly used in both spoken and written communication.

Learning Strategy: The best way to learn these verbs is by remembering them and practicing often. It helps to use them in sentences.
