Irregular verbs.
verbs that we add ‘t’ instead of ‘ed’ when writing the past tense of some words!!!!!!
Remember we add ‘ed’ to
short vowel words (a,e,i,o,u) ending in two consonants we
simply add the letters e and
d.hand - handed
post- posted
Remember we double the last letter Before we add ‘ed’ to words with a short vowel,
ending with one consonant.
hop - hoppedbeg - begged
And we simply add the letter ‘d’ When words
end in ‘e’.
hike- hikedprance- pranced
WHEN changing some verbs to past tense, a ‘t’ is used instead
of ‘ed’. These are called irregular verbs.
