Let’s go through this step by step.

We are given a list of verbs and need to sort them into two columns: Regular Verbs and Irregular Verbs.

What’s the difference?

- Regular verbs form their past tense by adding -ed (like “jump” → “jumped”).
- Irregular verbs do NOT follow that rule — they change in other ways (like “eat” → “ate”, or stay the same like “cut” → “cut”).

Now, let’s look at each verb one by one and decide which group it belongs to.

List of verbs:
1. jump → jumped → regular
2. awake → awoke/awakened → can be both, but usually considered irregular (awoke)
3. laugh → laughed → regular
4. dance → danced → regular
5. be → was/were → irregular
6. beat → beat/beaten → irregular
7. clean → cleaned → regular
8. become → became → irregular
9. find → found → irregular
10. cook → cooked → regular
11. talk → talked → regular
12. eat → ate → irregular
13. forget → forgot → irregular
14. hurt → hurt → irregular (same form)
15. lead → led → irregular
16. look → looked → regular
17. rise → rose → irregular
18. agree → agreed → regular
19. listen → listened → regular
20. run → ran → irregular

Let’s double-check any tricky ones:

- “awake”: While “awakened” is regular, the more common past tense is “awoke” → so we’ll put it under irregular.
- “hurt”: Doesn’t change → still irregular because it doesn’t add -ed.
- “lead”: Past tense is “led” → not “leaded” → irregular.
- “rise”: Past is “rose” → irregular.

All others clearly follow the -ed rule or don’t.

Now, let’s sort them:

✔ Regular Verbs:
jump, laugh, dance, clean, cook, talk, look, agree, listen

✔ Irregular Verbs:
awake, be, beat, become, find, eat, forget, hurt, lead, rise, run

Wait — did I miss any? Let’s count:

Total verbs: 20

Regular: jump, laugh, dance, clean, cook, talk, look, agree, listen → that’s 9

Irregular: awake, be, beat, become, find, eat, forget, hurt, lead, rise, run → that’s 11

9 + 11 = 20 → good.

But wait — what about “beat”? Is it always irregular? Yes — past tense is “beat” or “beaten”, never “beated”.

And “forget” → forgot → irregular.

Yes, all correct.

jump, laugh, dance, clean, cook, talk, look, agree, listen

Irregular Verbs:
awake, be, beat, become, find, eat, forget, hurt, lead, rise, run
