Dear Cafetalk Community,

how are you doing? I hope you are doing well.

Today, I wanted to talk about the fact that English grammar always seems to have "exceptions to the rule." These set of "exceptions" can throw some English learners off, because they have "Irregular Plurals" and "Irregular Verbs." These words do not follow the regular grammatic rules by the book. If the word "Irregular" is included, you can be rest assured that they are exceptions to the rule.

[Did you know that:]

All verbs, whether regular or irregular, have five forms [often called principal parts]. These forms are the infinitive, simple present, simple past, past participle, and present participle. The difference between a regular and an irregular verb is the formation of the simple past and past participle. (Dictionary.com)

[Infinitive / Simple / Present Simple / Past Past Participle / Present Participle]

For example, there is a chart of "Irregular Verbs" listing below in three columns below. I don't know any other way but to learn and memorize these verbs that are exceptions to the rule. If you'd like to study more English grammar, please take my "English Grammar" Lesson. I try to make the learning fun while I explain the various rules of English Grammar. If I haven't already met you yet, please give my lesson a try.
