Top irregular English verbs. Top irregular English verbs Pronunciation of irregular English verbs

There are a huge number of languages ​​in the world. Why is English so popular? The speed of spread of English is influenced by its good structure and simplicity. However, even in this universal language there are phenomena that go beyond logic - these are irregular verbs.

These words come from the general rules for the formation of English verbs, and ordinary cramming is the only way to learn them, since a universal method for learning them quickly still does not exist. Irregular Verbs you just need to remember that's all. This is very inconvenient when mastering a language, but you can’t do without these 450-480 words, or rather, without 100-150 of the highest frequency irregular verbs.

In simple terms, irregular verbs are “freedom-loving rebel verbs.” Moreover, they “revolt” only in complex temporary constructions in the future and present tense, as well as in sentences with past tenses. Fortunately, in the simple future and present, these words are no different from regular verbs.

All verbs in English are conjugated within 3-4 forms. As for irregular verbs, we are interested in them exclusively in cases of forms 2 and 3 - verb and participle in the past tense.

And here a completely logical question arises: how to determine a verb is correct or incorrect? And there is no clear rule here either. You will have to learn the table of irregular verbs first in English, consisting of at least 100 words. And those words that are not on the list will be correct. That's all the grammar is!

At first glance, everything seems simple. But the table contains 100 words, and each has 3 forms: infinitive, past tense and participle, therefore, you will have to learn at least 300 irregular verbs. But this is not all, but only the most used ones! This fact will undoubtedly pacify the ardor of those who decided to conquer the table in one go.

But if you download this table and constantly repeat the words and use them in speech, then you will understand that everything is not so scary. The main thing here is a great desire and a little hard work and patience. The more often you use these 100, or rather 300, irregular verbs in speech, the more reliably and quickly they will stick in your memory.

There is a special category of verbs in the English language that does not follow generally accepted rules when forming the past participle. They are usually called “wrong”. Unlike “regular” verbs, which are appended with the ending –ed to form the past participle, these verbs either remain unchanged or take unusual forms that are not always easy to remember. For example:

put – put – put;
drive – drove – driven.

If the first verb is easy to learn and use in sentences, then the second one has to be learned directly by memorization.

Where did such difficulties with some verbs come from? Scientists have concluded that these are some kind of “fossils” left in the language from ancient times. During its development, the English language has taken a large number of words from other European languages, but some words remained unchanged. It is this category that irregular verbs belong to.

I’ll tell you a secret: regular and irregular verbs of the English language are the most “favorite” topic for teachers and students when studying English grammar. Fate would have it that the most popular and frequently used in English speech words. For example, the famous phrase “to be or not to be” also contains an irregular verb. And that's the beauty of the British :)

Just take a second and imagine how wonderful it would be to add an ending -ed to main verbs and get the past tense. And now all English students are destined to take part in an exciting attraction - memorizing a convenient table of irregular verbs in the English language with translation and transcription.

1. IRREGULAR VERBS

Meet their royal majesty irregular verbs. You won’t have to rant about them for a long time. You just need to accept it and remember that each verb has its own forms. And it is almost impossible to detect any logical connection. All that remains is to put the table in front of you and learn, just as you once memorized the English alphabet.

It’s good that there are verbs where all three forms coincide and are pronounced the same (put-put-put). But there are especially harmful forms that are written as twins, but are pronounced differently (read - read - read). Just as only the best tea leaves of the best varieties are selected for a royal tea party, we have collected the most commonly used irregular verbs, arranged them alphabetically, visually conveniently arranged them in a table - we did everything to make you smile and... teach. In general, only conscientious cramming will save humanity from ignorance of English irregular verbs.

And to make memorization not so boring, you can create your own algorithms. For example, to begin with, write down all the verbs where the three forms coincide. Then those where the two forms coincide (these are the majority, by the way). Or, let’s say, today you learn words starting with the letter “b” (don’t think anything bad), and tomorrow - a different word. No limits to imagination for those in love with English!

And without leaving the cash register, we suggest you take a test on your knowledge of irregular verbs.

After this video you will love learning irregular verbs! Yo! :) ...for those who are impatient, it is advisable to watch from 38 seconds

For fans of the advanced teacher and rap lovers, we offer a backing track for a personal way of learning irregular verbs in karaoke style, and in the future, perhaps, for recording a new personal video with your teacher/teacher/class. Weak or not weak?

2. REGULAR VERBS

When the most difficult part in the form of irregular verbs is mastered (we want to believe that this is the case), you can crack the regular verbs of the English language like nuts. They are called so because they form the past tense form and participle II in exactly the same way. In order not to overload your brain once again, we’ll simply designate them as form 2 and form 3. And both of them are obtained using the ending - ed.

For example: look - looked,work - worked

2.1 And for those who like to get to the bottom of everything, you can conduct a brief educational program about the mysterious term “participle II”. Firstly, why participle? Because how else can we designate a three-headed dragon, which has the characteristics of 3 parts of speech at once: verb, adjective and adverb. Accordingly, such a form is always found WITH PARTS (at once with three).

Secondly, why II? Because there is also I . Quite logical  Only participle I has an ending -ing, and participle II has the ending -ed V regular verbs, and any ending in the wrong ones ( written , built , come ).

2.2 And everything would be fine, but there are some nuances.

If the verb ends in -y, then you need an ending -ied(study - studied).
. If the verb consists of one syllable and ends in a consonant, then it is doubled (stop - stopped).
. The final consonant l is always doubled (travel -travelled)
. If the verb ends in -e, then you only need to add -d(translate - translated)

For those who are especially picky and attentive, you can also add pronunciation features. For example, after voiceless consonants the ending is pronounced “t”, after voiced consonants - “d”, after vowels “id”.

Perhaps you have heard/invented/read/seen a method that allows you to reduce effort to a minimum and maximize the efficiency of memorizing irregular verbs, but for some reason we don’t know it yet. Share not only your smile, but also your cramming options to please each other with something interesting

The verb is the king of the English language. Even the shortest sentence always contains a verb. Conversely, a verb can be used to form a one-word sentence, for example “ Stop!” (“Stop!”).

Verbs are sometimes called "action words." This is partly true. Many verbs convey the idea of ​​action, of “doing” something—for example, “ run” (run), “ fight” (fight), “ do" (do), " work" (work).

But some verbs mean not action, but existence, not “doing,” but “being.” These are verbs like “ be" (be), " exist" (exist), " seem” (seem) “ belong”(belong).

A subject is attached to a verb as a predicate. So, in the sentence “ Mary speaks English” (“Mary speaks English”) Mary is the subject and the verb speaks - predicate.

Thus, we can say that verbs are words that explain what the subject does ( does) or what/what is ( is), and describe:

• action (" John plays football” - “John plays football”);
• state (" Ashley seems kind” - “Ashley seems kind”).

Verbs in English have one peculiarity. Most words of other parts of speech - , etc. - do not change (although nouns have singular and plural). But almost all verbs change according to grammatical forms. For example, the verb “ to work” (“work”) five forms:

• to work, work, works, worked, working

Note, however, that this is not much compared to languages ​​in which one verb can have 30 or more forms (for example, Hungarian) - if you have started learning verbs in , you can breathe a sigh of relief.
