Regular Verb Definition

Unlike irregular verbs, those verbs that form their past participle with ‘d’ or ‘ed’ are regular verbs. These verbs do not undergo substantial changes while changing forms between tenses.

  1. If the verb ends with a vowel, only ‘d’ is added. For example:
PRESENT TENSE PAST TENSE
Share Shared
Scare Scared
Dare Dared
  1. If the verb ends with a consonant, ‘ed’ is added. For example:
PRESENT TENSE PAST TENSE
Want Wanted
Shout Shouted
Kill Killed

400 Regular Verbs List in English

Regular Verbs

It is necessary to learn the second and third forms of verbs to use the past and perfect tense types, which are used quite frequently in English, correctly. Although it is necessary to memorize all irregular verbs, you do not need to memorize such regular verbs. You only need to know the rules of regular verb formation to arrange all regular verbs in English in the past tense or perfect tense.

How to Form a Regular Verb

If you aim to describe events or situations that happened in the past, you need to use the past tense or the perfect tense. However, since the verbs in these tenses have to be the second and third forms of the verb, you should learn the rules of arranging these verbs. Suffixes for regular verbs are -d, -ed, and -ied, but you cannot place these suffixes randomly. Here are the rules on how to place these attachments:

  • If the verb you want to change into its second form ends in a consonant, it takes the -ed suffix. For example:

added, afforded, alerted, annoyed, allowed, answered, arrested, attacked, avoided, blessed, boiled, booked, borrowed, bushed, called, collected, complained, concerned, connected, contained, decayed, delivered, depended, destroyed, embarrassed, ended, entertained, explained, failed, feared, floated, flowed, followed, hammered, hunted, interested, interrupted, joined, jumped, knocked,
