Learn English with Sentences: Irregular verbs in the past tense
English has many irregular verbs that are quite tricky to learn. I've written a collection of more than a thousand sentences and questions, using these irregular verbs. I've chosen verbs that are used a lot in everyday conversation so they will be beneficial to any learner of English. You'll find 55 irregular verbs written in the past tense in a range of different sentences and questions in the positive and negative using both the simple past and the compound past tense.
We use contractions (I’m, we’re) in everyday speech and informal writing. Contractions, which are sometimes called ‘short forms’, commonly combine a pronoun or noun and a verb, or a verb and not, in a shorter form. Contractions are usually not appropriate in formal writing.
We make contractions with auxiliary verbs, and also with be and have when they are not auxiliary verbs. When we make a contraction, we commonly put an apostrophe in place of a missing letter.
The English language has a large number of irregular verbs, approaching 200 in normal use—and significantly more if prefixed forms are counted. In most cases, the irregularity concerns the past tense (also called preterite) or the past participle.
