Irregular Past Tense Verbs worksheet for students to practice converting present tense verbs to their past tense forms.

Let’s go through each verb one by one and find its correct irregular past tense form.

We are given these present tense verbs:
- Build
- Hear
- Hold
- Draw
- Keep
- Know
- Spin
- Pay
- Stand
- Rise

Now, let’s recall or look up the correct past tense for each (since they’re irregular, we can’t just add “-ed”):

1. Build → The past tense is Built
(Example: I build a tower today. Yesterday, I built a tower.)

2. Hear → The past tense is Heard
(Example: I hear music now. Last night, I heard music.)

3. Hold → The past tense is Held
(Example: She holds the book. She held the book yesterday.)

4. Draw → The past tense is Drew
(Example: He draws a picture. He drew a picture last week.)

5. Keep → The past tense is Kept
(Example: We keep our room clean. We kept it clean yesterday.)

6. Know → The past tense is Knew
(Example: I know the answer. I knew the answer this morning.)

7. Spin → The past tense is Spun
(Example: The top spins fast. It spun fast earlier.)

8. Pay → The past tense is Paid
(Example: They pay the bill. They paid the bill last time.)

9. Stand → The past tense is Stood
(Example: He stands tall. He stood tall during the game.)

10. Rise → The past tense is Rose
(Example: The sun rises in the east. The sun rose at 6 AM today.)

✔ All of these are common irregular verbs — their past forms don’t follow the normal “add -ed” rule.
