What is Regular Verb

Regular
verbs are those verbs that forms their past tense and past participles by
adding ‘-d’ or ‘-ed’ to the end of the verb. Most of the English verbs become
regular verbs. Such as:

• Cook,
  cooked, cooked.

In some
words, the last consonant become double before adding the ‘-ed’ at the end.
Such as:

• Plan,
  planned, planned.


• The
  base form of some words are ‘walk’ and ‘talk’ however they become ‘walked’
  and ‘talked’ when changed to regular verb.

Regular
verbs are conjugated words in a traditional form. Such as: ‘cook’ is a regular
verb as it’s past tense is ‘cooked’; however, we cannot say ‘write’ a regular
verb because it’s past tense is not ‘writed’. It would be ‘wrote’, thus ‘write’
is an irregular verb.
