Good day block mates! Since we will be discussing about verbs, I think this information I have posted will be helpful in gaining more information about irregular verbs. We all know that it's easy to identify if it's a verb. Most verbs in English form their various tenses consistently: add -ed to the base of a verb to create the simple past and past participle: he walked; he has walked.

There are, however, a number of so-called irregular verbs, (including, unfortunately, some very common verbs such as to be and to have) whose various forms must be memorized. An alphabetized list of Common Irregular Verbs is available in the Guide that you can copy or print out and then try to memorize or at least use in practice sentences. You should take the quizzes on irregular verbs, below, after you've looked at this list.


In additional, you can also take quizzes about verbs in this site.

  2. "Since we will be discussing about verbs" (first paragraph, second sentence). It can be stated as: "Since we will be discussing verbs". The verb "discuss", usually, is not followed by a preposition.

  3. "Discuss" is a transitive verb. A direct object must be followed after the transitive verb.

  5. This site is a good one. We can answer several quizzes which is a good way to test our understanding about the topic. Thank you, Limor.

  8. KC, please comment on the content--not the length--of the post.

    Bony, you are "concerned," not "concern." You need a participle/adjective there, not a noun.

    People, stop saying "thank you" for each post if it's the only thing you can think of saying. Either say something more substantial than that or refrain from commenting at all.

    To those who contributed to this post, keep it up.

  9. P.S.

    "Both Jessica and Limor have the same topic" is redundant. Omit BOTH and the sentence should be fine.

    (Note: I use the caps here only because this comment box won't let me italicize nor underline.)

  10. P.P.S.

    Limor:

    "We all know that it's easy to identify a verb." (omit IF IT'S.

    And Limor, PLEASE DON'T PLAGIARIZE EVER AGAIN. You copied a whole paragraph from http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/verbs.htm and made it look like it was your own. You can get expelled for doing this.

  11. Sorry Ma'am. I intentionally copied the whole paragraph because I thought that it's better than just posting the link and tell them to open it. I also put the source at the bottom of my post so that they'll know that the idea was not mine. I'm so sorry Ma'am. I'll never do this again.
