Regular Verb Definition
Unlike irregular verbs, those verbs that form their past participle with ‘d’ or ‘ed’ are regular verbs. These verbs do not undergo substantial changes while changing forms between tenses.
- If the verb ends with a vowel, only ‘d’ is added. For example:
| PRESENT TENSE | PAST TENSE |
| Share | Shared |
| Scare | Scared |
| Dare | Dared |
- If the verb ends with a consonant, ‘ed’ is added. For example:
| PRESENT TENSE | PAST TENSE |
| Want | Wanted |
| Shout | Shouted |
| Kill | Killed |
