- The verb 'to be' is notable for its conjugation because it has the most irregular forms, with eight different forms in the present tense alone.
- Regular verbs follow a standard pattern when conjugated, which involves adding -ed to the base form of the verb to form the past tense and past participle.
Verb Tense
- Verb tense indicates the time at which an action takes place, such as past, present, or future.
- Irregular verbs do not follow a standard pattern when conjugated according to tense, and their forms must be memorized.
