Hey, what's up? Verbs in English are divided into two groups: regular and irregular. Irregular have a special second and third form of the past tense. This list just needs to be learned, and a huge number of collections and tables can be found on the Internet. We also have about them was an article.

• Rules for adding endings
• List of regular verbs

And today we'll talk about the correct ones, those to which is added in the past tense ending ed .

In all cases, the ending ed is added. But this is not always enough. There are several options.

1. The simplest case - the ending is simply added at the end after the consonant. Brush - brush ed . Consider - consider ed .

2. If there is already an "e" at the end (or even two), we just add d. Arrive - arrive d . Agree - agree d .

3. In verbs that end in "y", this letter is changed to "i". Study - stud ied . Cry - cr ied . But if there is a vowel before "y" in the infinitive, then the substitution is cancelled. Play - pla yed .

4. If the verb ends with one hard consonant preceded by one vowel, then the consonant is doubled if the last syllable is stressed. Drop—drop ped . Refer - refer red . The rule may seem complicated, but over time you will begin to feel it intuitively.

5. If the last letter is "l", then in British English it is always doubled, but in American English it is only doubled when the last syllable is stressed. Cancel - cancel led /cance lled .

6. And if the last "x" is not doubled anywhere and never. Fix - fix ed .

There are many rules, but they are very important, and it is imperative to remember them. nine0004

Regular verb list - 50 English verbs for beginners

Today I want to offer a list of the fifty most common and widely used regular verbs in the English language.

This selection is suitable for beginners. With these verbs, you can build simple everyday phrases that are used in everyday speech. nine0004

I will also give some grammar rules in the tables associated with this type of verbs.

What are regular verbs and irregular verbs

There are two categories of verbs in English - regular and irregular.

The division into these categories is based on the way the Past Simple and the Past Participle are formed.

Regular verbs in English are those verbs that form the above forms according to the general rule. nine0004

And it is as follows - the Past Simple and Past Participle forms of regular verbs are formed by adding the ending -ed to the stem of the verb (to the infinitive). For example, the verb ask. We add -ed to it and get - asked, this will be the form of the past tense and the past participle. They form the same way.

Irregular verbs do not form the above forms according to the general rule. Their forms just need to be learned by heart. For example, the verb to begin - begin, has the form began in the Past Simple, and begun in the Past Participle. nine0004

Features of the formation of the Past Simple and Past Participle forms of regular verbs

But when forming forms with the addition of –ed, there are several grammatical nuances.

I will put them in a table for convenience:

In all other cases, the ending –ed is attached to the verb without features.

Peculiarities of reading the ending –ed

Again, I will present it in the form of a table:
