Explanation:
Irregular verbs do not follow the standard rule of adding "-ed" to form the past tense. Instead, they have unique past tense forms that must be memorized. For example:
- "Tell" becomes "told," not "telled."
- "Think" becomes "thought," not "thinked."
- Some verbs, like "spread," remain the same in both present and past tenses.
