200 Most Common Irregular Verbs + Gerunds

Irregular verbs are those that usually dont take the -ed ending for the Past Simple and Past Participle
forms.

Sometimes, there may be the option to use -ed but that would only be due to modern changes in the
language or the British vs American English difference.
