    Attention!
    In the English language, the verbs are divided into two:

    REGULAR VERBS
    Regular verbs form their past forms by adding -d, -ed or -ied to the
    base form.
    IRREGULAR VERBS
    Irregular verbs do not follow a consistent pattern for their past forms.
    Each irregular verb has a unique past form!
