Verbos irregulares

En inglés, hay aproximadamente 200 verbos irregulares. Estos verbos se desvían del

patrón estándar de conjugación en una o más formas. A diferencia de los verbos

regulares, que forman su pasado y participio pasado añadiendo "-ed" a la forma base,

los verbos irregulares tienen formas únicas para su pasado y participio pasado.

Algunos verbos irregulares comunes incluyen "go" (went, gone), "eat" (ate, eaten) y

"come" (came, come). Aprender verbos irregulares puede ser desafiante porque sus

formas no siguen un patrón consistente, por lo que a menudo requiere

memorización.
