What is verb conjugation?
Conjugation is the creation of derived forms of a verb from its principal parts by inflection (regular alteration according to rules of grammar).
Conjugation may be affected by person, number, gender, tense, aspect, mood, voice, or other grammatical categories.
Conjugated forms of a verb are called finite forms. In many languages there are also one or more forms that remain unchanged with all or most grammatical categories: the non-finite forms, such as the infinitive or the gerund. A table giving all the conjugated variants of a verb in a given language is called a conjugation table or a verb paradigm.

English irregular verbs Take a look at this.

Verb Conjugation Table

All verbs have four 'principal parts': a 'base form', a 'present participle', a 'simple past form', and a 'past participle'. All the verb tenses are formed from these principal parts.

Verb Forms

English verbs come in several forms. For example, the verb to sing can be: to sing, sing, sang, sung, singing or sings. This is a total of 6 forms. With the exception of the verb to be, English main verbs have only 4, 5 or 6 forms. To be has 9 forms. Do not confuse verb forms with tenses. We use the different verb forms to make the tenses, but they are not the same thing.
Forms of Main Verbs
Forms of Helping Verbs
Main Verb Forms Quiz What is the difference between regular verbs and irregular verbs? If in doubt, a good dictionary can tell you if a verb is regular or irregular.

Regular Verbs List
There are thousands of regular verbs in English. This is a list of 600 of the more common regular verbs. Note that there are some spelling variations in American English (for example, "practise" becomes "practice" in American English).

Quick Refresher: A verb is a word that names an action or a state of being.

Verb Tenses

Before you can learn why regular verbs are regular, you need to learn a little bit about verb tenses.

Verb tenses tell us about the time that the verb occurs.

Verbs have three different basic or simple times that they could have taken place.

These three times are called the simple tenses.

1. Past Tense: These verbs take place in the past.

2. Present Tense: These verbs take place in the present.

3. Future Tense: These verbs will take place in the future.

Past tense and present tense are the two tenses that are important for this discussion, so those are the two that we are going to focus on.

Here are some examples of present and past tense verbs.

Do you notice a pattern in how they are formed?

Present Tense	Past Tense
learn	learned
walk	walked
move	moved
work	worked
love	loved
play	played

Regular Verbs

After looking at the table above, did you notice any pattern when we changed the present tense form of a verb into the past tense?

I certainly hope so! You should have noticed that all of the past tense verbs above simply added a -d or -ed to the present tense form of the verb.

Well, the definition of a regular verb is a verb that adds -d or -ed to the present tense form to make the past tense form.

That's it!

This chart shows you how they are formed.

Present Tense	+ -d or -ed	Past Tense
learn	+ -ed	learned
walk	+ -ed	walked
move	+ -d	moved
work	+ -ed	worked
love	+ -d	loved
play	+ -ed	played

The word regular in its name means that we can predict what these verbs will do.

They follow a pattern. They do the same thing every time they are in the past tense, so we say that they are regular.

Okay... so what are irregular verbs?

Irregular Verbs

Put all of that lovely knowledge that you just learned into action.

Use what you learned above to figure out what an irregular verb is.

If I looked inside your head right now, I'm sure that I would gain access to this thought process:

If a regular verb adds -d or -ed to the present tense form when making the past tense, I'll bet that an irregular verb does not do that!

Great! You're right. Here is a formal definition for you.

Irregular verbs are verbs that don't add -d or -ed to the present tense form when making the past tense.

This makes them wacky, unpredictable little things.

Here are some irregular verbs.

Present Tense	Past Tense
sing	sang
take	took
read	read
drive	drove
fly	flew

Irregular verbs are so undisciplined that they don't follow a pattern, unlike their organized and dependable counterparts.

* regular form (+ -ed) also possible.

Some of the verbs in our table are merely prefixed forms of an irregular verb. Thus, if you learn only a single irregular verb, you can be certain that any other prefixed variant on that verb is irregular in the exact same manner. Look at the following examples:

bid - forbid
cast - broadcast - forecast
go - forego - undergo
get - forget
stand - understand - withstand
tell - foretell
take - overtake - undertake

The trend, in English, and especially in American English, is to standardize the irregular verbs. We do not foresee all the irregular verbs ever being standardized, but some of the more minor variations in less commonly used words will probably disappear in the next genration or two.

The following English irregular verbs are now obsolete and use the standard past and participle forms (-ed).

infinitive	simple past	past participle
burn	burnt	burnt
dream	dreamt	dreamt
learn	learnt	learnt
