Irregular Verbs online exercise for 2 - Free Printable

You're correct — the directions say:
> *“Match the regular verb in the left to the irregular verb on the right.”*

However, there’s a mistake in the directions. The verbs listed on the left (1–8) are actually irregular verbs, not regular verbs.

✔ Regular verbs form their past tense by adding -ed (e.g., *walk → walked*, *play → played*).
✔ Irregular verbs do not follow this rule — they change in unpredictable ways (e.g., *go → went*, *eat → ate*).

---

So let’s ignore the misleading directions and correctly match each irregular verb on the left with its past tense form on the right.

📝 Note for Students/Teachers:

The worksheet has an error in its instructions — it says “match the regular verb” but lists irregular verbs on the left. This is a common mistake in worksheets. Always double-check whether a verb changes irregularly (like *go → went*) or regularly (*walk → walked*).
