Hi Tinus,

Yes, Bongo’s right.

Past tense (verb2) and past participle (verb3) forms of the irregular verbs are mostly irregularly different from their base verb (verb1), for instance,

• read – read – read (the same spelling)
• forget – forgot – forgot (verb2 = verb3)
• come – came – come (verb1 = verb3)
• drink – drank – drunk (all different), etc, (See: Common Irregular Verbs)

On the other hand, all past tense and past participles forms of the regular verbs end in -ed, either by adding -ed or just -d to its corresponding base verbs. For example:

• walk – walked – walked (added with – ed)
• promise – promised – promised (added with -d), etc. ( (See: 750 Common Regular Verbs)

How to use regular verbs in a sentence?

Well, both irregular verbs and regular ones are used similarly in a sentence. If you understand how to use irregular verbs, then you shouldn’t have any difficulty in using the regular ones. In fact, the latter are easier to use, at least spelling wise. But, we may have difficulty in pronouncing them correctly and clearly. These have been discussed on Regular Verbs: spelling rules and How to Pronounce -ed in English.
