Step 1: Understand Irregular Verbs
Irregular verbs do
not follow the regular pattern of adding "-ed" for the past tense. Instead, they change in unpredictable ways.
We’ll go through each verb one by one.

Summary:
All the verbs in the list are common irregular verbs. The key is memorizing their past forms because they don’t follow a standard rule.

You should draw lines connecting:
- think → thought
- do → did
- make → made
- sleep → slept
- go → went
- hang → hung
- run → ran
- write → wrote
- see → saw
