Regular and Irregular Verb Worksheets - Free Printable

Let's solve this step-by-step based on the worksheet titled "Regular & Irregular Past Tense Verbs."

---

🌟 Objective of the Worksheet:

1. Identify which verbs are irregular (don't follow the "-ed" rule).
2. Write the correct past tense form of each verb.
3. Circle the irregular verbs in the list.

---

🔍 Step 1: Understand Regular vs. Irregular Verbs

- Regular verbs: Add "-ed" to form the past tense.
Example: *talk → talked*, *play → played*

- Irregular verbs: Do not follow the "-ed" rule. They have unique past forms.
Example: *sing → sang*, *go → went*, *eat → ate*

---

✔ Step 2: Go Through Each Verb and Determine Its Past Tense

We’ll go through each verb, identify if it’s regular or irregular, write the past tense, and circle the irregular ones.

#### List of Verbs with Analysis:

| # | Verb | Type | Past Tense | Notes |
|---|----------|------------|------------|-------|
| 1. | bring | Irregular | brought | Yes – "bring → brought" |
| 2. | call | Regular | called | Follows -ed rule |
| 3. | sell | Irregular | sold | "sell → sold" |
| 4. | swim | Irregular | swam | "swim → swam" |
| 5. | create | Regular | created | Standard -ed |
| 6. | sleep | Irregular | slept | "sleep → slept" |
| 7. | stretch | Regular | stretched | -ed added |
| 8. | come | Irregular | came | "come → came" |
| 9. | serve | Regular | served | -ed added |
|10. | show | Irregular | showed | Wait! This is tricky. |

> ⚠️ Note: "Show" is regular? Actually, "show" is regular → showed
> But some might think it's irregular because of spelling change. However, it does follow the "-ed" rule. So it's regular.

But wait — let's double-check:
- Show → showed → yes, regular
- Show → shown is a past participle, but not used here.

So show is regular.

|11. | teach | Irregular | taught | "teach → taught" |
|12. | carry | Regular | carried | -ed added |
|13. | are | Irregular | were | "are → were" (be verb) |
|14. | visit | Regular | visited | -ed added |
|15. | grow | Irregular | grew | "grow → grew" |
|16. | sit | Irregular | sat | "sit → sat" |
|17. | wish | Regular | wished | -ed added |
|18. | watch | Regular | watched | -ed added |
|19. | run | Irregular | ran | "run → ran" |
|20. | learn | Irregular | learned / learnt | Both accepted, but learned is more common in American English. Still, it's often considered regular. But note: "learnt" is irregular form. So it's semi-irregular. For simplicity, most curricula treat learn as regular (learned). |
|21. | fill | Regular | filled | -ed added |
|22. | eat | Irregular | ate | "eat → ate" |
|23. | drive | Regular | drove | Wait! "drive → drove" — this is irregular! |
|24. | dance | Regular | danced | -ed added |

Wait! Let's correct that:

- Drive → drove → Irregular! Not "drived"
- So drive is irregular

Similarly, dance → danced → regular
