Regular and Irregular verbs
Regular and irregular verbs.
A verb is a doing or action word.
Most verbs form their past tense by adding "d" or "ed". These verbs are called REGULAR VERBS.
Eg. Wash Washed
Bake Baked
If a verb ends with "y" and there is a consonant before it, change the y to "i" and add "ed"
eg. Cry Cried
deny denied
reply replied
apply applied
If a very ends with "y" and there is a vowel before the "y", then just add "ed"
eg. obey obeyed
stay stayed
enjoy enjoyed
play played
