What is a "regular verb"?
A regular verb is a type of verb that follows a predictable pattern when forming its various tenses. Specifically, regular verbs typically form their past tense and past participle by adding the suffix "-ed" to the base form. For example, the verb "to walk" becomes "walked" in the past tense. Other examples include "play," which becomes "played," and "talk," which becomes "talked." Regular verbs are common in English, making it easier to conjugate them consistently. This predictability is useful for learners of the language, as it allows them to form different verb tenses with confidence.
