De forma diferente dos
verbos regulares, que para utilizá-los no passado simples e no particípio basta
acrescentar “ed”, os verbos irregulares possuem formas próprias para esses
tempos verbais e por isso não seguem nenhuma regra.
Os todos os verbos existentes na língua, a frequência com que ocorrem é
muito alta, o que lhes dá uma importância significativa. E a irregularidade dos
verbos em inglês manifesta-se apenas nas formas do Past e do Past
Participle, e verbos irregulares se constituam numa pequena minoria em relação
a não na conjugação dos mesmos, como em português. Os únicos verbos do inglês
que têm também uma conjugação irregular são o verbo to be e os verbos
auxiliares modais (can, may, might, shall, should, must, etc.).
