in this video we are going to learn

about irregular past tenses of verbs

0:35

let's get started

0:37

so not every verb is regular

0:42

if a verb is regular in the past tense

0:46

that means it ends with an e d

0:49

so in the past I watched

0:54

or I talked

0:57

those both end in ed to show past tense

1:02

but not all verbs are like this some are

1:08

irregular there are no real rules to

1:12

follow to form the past tense

1:15

so you just have to memorize them or
