Irregular Verbs Learned The Easy Way Through English Grammar Listening Practice

✔Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/grammar-english-irregular-verbs/

English  verbs are pretty straightforward until you get to irregular verbs. These are verbs that don’t use the usual -d, -ed, or -ied spelling or  pronunciation for the past simple or past participle. You probably don’t  really care about learning irregular verbs. Who does, really? The point  is, you want to speak English fluently and make an impression on people  with your English language skills. And for this, you will need to understand the past simple and past participle verb forms so your spoken  English sounds right.

Now there are plenty of tables that list irregular verbs and their forms on the internet, and you  could try to just learn them by remembering them with no context. This  might work if you only wanted to write in English. However, when  speaking in English, this type of memorisation is not that helpful.

The rules of English grammar are largely an artificial construct with little or no bearing on the language as it is spoke.

The  good news is there is a simpler and more memorable way to learn  irregular verbs. You just need to hear them being used, over and over,  in sensible spoken examples. Lots of repeat listening practice of  irregular verbs being used will help you recognize them when others are  using them. Importantly, you will hear the correct form being used and you will notice when they are not correct.
