Irregular sentences in all tenses. How to learn English irregular verbs

The verb is "the soul of a sentence."

The acquisition of vocabulary, the ability to use it in all types of speech activity is one of the most important goals of teaching a foreign language at school.

Of the several hundred lexical units of the active vocabulary of grade 5 textbooks, about 50 irregular verbs can be distinguished, the assimilation and use of which are the most difficult for students.

Schoolchildren have many problems with the use of grammatical categories of tense, temporary forms of auxiliary and basic verbs. It seems to me that in the absence of regular training, students find it difficult to choose one form or another of any semantic verb, even the correct one. And the diversity and dissimilarity of the forms of irregular verbs cause them additional difficulties.

To avoid such difficulties in speech, I believe, it is possible through regular and systematic training to consolidate the forms of irregular verbs in memory, as well as through exercises for their use in different tenses.

The process of mastering the forms of irregular verbs is faster if these verbs are memorized, if possible, in the form of rhymed groups, and then used in various games.

I distribute to students the tables with irregular verbs, which are studied according to the program in grade 5. All material is divided into parts (by phonetic and morphological similarity of the three verb forms).

to be was / were been

to see saw seen

to do did done

to become became become

To come came come

to run ran run

to begin began begun

to ring rang rung

To sing sang sung

to go went gone

to wear wore worn

to fly flew flown

to know knew known

to grow grew grown

to eat ate eaten

to take took take

to ride rode ridden

to write wrote written

to buy bought bought

to bring brought brought

to think thought thought

to teach taught taught

to catch caught caught

to build built built

to feed fed fed

to meet met met

to leave left left

to read read read

to lose lost lost

to have had had

to tell told told

to sell sold sold

to say said said

to make made made

to stand stood stood

To understand understood understood

to send sent sent

to spend spent spent

to win won won

After reading and parsing the table (3-4) of the lesson, I move on to work on a solid memorization of all forms of irregular verbs using various exercises. I select in advance and write on the card 5-10 irregular verbs that are found in the text and in the speech exercises of this paragraph. I work frontally, at a fast pace, I spend no more than 3 - 5 minutes on it.

Exercises with individual verbs.

I pronounce an irregular verb in an indefinite form and show the card. I ask one of the students to translate it into Russian and name all the studied forms. The class then repeats them in chorus after me.

T : to go

T : go, go - to go - went - gone

T - Cl : to go - went - gone

I show a card with a verb in Russian.

T : run, run.

P : to run - ran - run

T - Cl : to run - ran - run.

III

On the blackboard there is a table of irregular verbs, Form 1 is closed. I point to one of the forms of the verb and ask the student to read it and name the indefinite form with translation. The class behind me repeats the forms of the given verb.

T: thought (showing)

P: thought from to think to think

T - Cl: to think thought thought.

I divide the class into two teams that compete at a fast pace, showing knowledge of irregular verbs. I show cards with indefinite verbs one at a time to the students of each team.

T: to sing T: to be

P1: to sing - sang - sung P2: to be - was / were - been

I use writing exercises to help students memorize the spelling of the verb forms.

The student receives a card with 5 verbs in an indefinite form in Russian. He has to write the forms of the verbs on the board. We check with the whole class.

The writing exercise is a class-wide competition. In 5 minutes, students write on pieces of paper as many irregular verbs as possible in all forms with translation of the indefinite form into Russian.

Swim to swim swam swum

YII

Before working with the new text, I prepare a card with indefinite verbs in the form in which they are given in the text. One of the strongest students writes them down on the board, indicates grammatical time and basic form with translation into Russian. For example: (lesson 67 - 68 p. 227, Textbook for grades 5, V.P. Kuravlev).

Went - Simple Past from to go -go

Have been - Present Perfect from to be -be, exist

Have seen - Present Perfect from to see -see

This is an exercise I often ask for at home, which students do ahead of time before reading a new, unfamiliar text. The goal is to remove difficulties in the subsequent independent work with the text and to prevent possible errors.

While a student prepares a written assignment on the blackboard, I work with the class to offer oral irregular verb exercises.

YII I

Students confirm or deny my statements.

T: I went to the cinema yesterday.

P1: I went to the cinema, too.

R2: I didn t go to the cinema yesterday.

I was busy.

T : I have visited my grandparents.

R1: I have visited my grand mother too.

P2: I haven t visited my grandparents.

I had no time to do it.

T: I am teaching you English now.

P1: That s right. You are teaching us English.

T: What are you doing now?

P2: We are learning English.

I write on the blackboard several irregular verbs in the basic form, for example: to see, to do, to sent and invite students, working in pairs, to compose microdialogues using the model:

P1: I d like to see a new film.

P2: I have already seen it.

R1: I am going to do my homework.

R2: I have already done it.

R1: I want to send a letter to my friend.

R2: I have already sent a letter to me friend.

Entertaining forms play an important role in the presentation of grammatical material, for example, the use of poems and rhymes in the classroom. Often I start a lesson with phonetic exercises, which contains certain grammatical material related to the topic of the lesson. From time to time I hold contests: who knows more rhymes and can explain what grammatical forms are presented in them.

Present Perfect, Past Simple .

Little girl, little girl,

Where have you been?

I ve been to see grandmother

Over the green.

What did she give you?

Milk in a can.

What did you say for it?

Thank you, Grandam.

Because it bit my finger so.

Which finger did it bite?

The little finger on the right.

Little fishes in a brook,

I want to note that the guys like this type of work, it does not require much effort from them and serves as an effective means of mastering grammatical material.

Past Simple examples of interrogative sentences with translation

Irregular verbs of the English language, not differing in this from the correct ones, are part of speech denoting:

The action itself is to speak (to speak), to come (to come).
Any process is to sleep.
State - to be (to be), to know (to know), etc.

Value

Depending on the meaning, irregular verbs are divided into two main groups - limiting and non-limiting.

Today's proposal combines the visual part as well as the auditory part. Because we are talking about lists of verbs that are spelled the same in their different verbal formations, and that, moreover, they pronounce the same way. From the Marley Nervion School of Languages \u200b\u200bSeville, we offer today a simple technique to start practicing gradually and build calmly.

The lightest part of irregular verbs occurs in those that repeat the same way, Infinitive, Past and Particle. Since the three forms are written in the same way, if you recognize the first, you will recognize them all! You can make your own list of irregular verbs of this type, those that you learn a little in your readings or throughout the school year.

Limit (terminative verbs) have a certain framework beyond which the action can no longer continue, in other words, they have a goal, having completed which, the action is completed and no longer lasts. For example: to break, to bring, to lay, to leave.
Unlimited (durative verbs) do not set any bounds on the execution of an action - it can last indefinitely. For example: to speak, to know, to sit, to understand.

Irregular verbs (in English –irregular verbs) differ from their regular brothers in that they form the Past Indefinite and Participle II forms in a special way - in order to use such forms, they need to be learned.

And save the list to your computer to be a reference and also be able to add new verbs. See how many irregular verbs you can recognize and pronounce correctly! When learning any language like English, little tricks and strategies end up adding up to a lot.

And methods that are simple are the best. With a little effort, you get great results. Irregular verbs are those that do not follow the standard Anglo-Saxon language conjugation patterns. Learning irregular verbs is important at the moment of wanting to acquire a second language, in this case English, because different ways of speaking verbs in both your native language and the one you want to learn collide, because he learns systematically and then presents problems when wants to make an immediate translation.

Here is a list of irregular verbs of the English language with transcription, which are "basic", start learning with them.

Transcription of English Irregular Verbs

Irregular Verbs - Forms

Irregular verbs consist of 3 forms - the infinitive, the past indefinite tense (form 2) and the past participle (form 3). Let's see how each form is different and what it is used for in the sentence.

Irregular verbs are commonly used in English. In linguistic analysis, when languages \u200b\u200bare compared, one of the main statistics that is commonly quoted is the number of irregular verbs. This type of analysis is not entirely correct for many reasons that linguists are reluctant to reveal, but it seems that some languages \u200b\u200bhave a greater tolerance for irregular paradigms than others.

Can an irregular verb be pronounced like a regular verb?

At the time of learning English, you can only focus on writing, but uneven pronunciation is also important. But this is irregular in the way it is written and therefore both reading and pronunciation are necessary.

How to hide an irregular verb

The basic tenses structure for both regular and irregular verbs is the same. The only difference is that with regular verbs the past and past participle are the same, while with irregular verbs the past and past participle are not always the same.

Infinitive

This is the first form for all kinds of verbs. The infinitive originated from a verbal noun and therefore retained some of the features of the noun. Considering its syntactic role, you can see that it acts as:

The subject.
To speak like this was out of turn. - It was thoughtless to say so.
Predictable.
Her intention was to tell him the truth. “Her intention was to tell him the truth.
Supplements.
I have never aimed to take his place. - I never set it as my goal to take his place.

Note that the first form is always followed by to.

Past indefinite

The second form or the past indefinite tense of an irregular verb is used to indicate events that have already ended and are not associated with events in the present tense. In this case, the time of the events that took place can be indicated - last year (last year), a week ago (a week ago).

She left two hours ago. “She left two hours ago.

Translation into Russian can be carried out both with the help of a perfect and an imperfect form.
He ate in the canteen and then he went back to the office. - He ate in the dining room and then went to the office.

He ate and watched TV. - He ate and watched TV.

Please note: the translation in this case depends on the context and on the lexical characteristics of the verb itself.
A simple indefinite time is still used when we talk about recurring events, about a series of actions in the past.
She took off her coat and hanged it on a coat stand. She took off her coat and hung it on a hanger.

He made an entry in his diary every evening. - He wrote in his diary every night.

Participle II

The past participle (or participle II) does not distinguish between tenses. We can use it in a sentence as:

Definitions. When it is used with transitive verbs (the action of which can be transferred to any object), it corresponds to the Russian passive or real participle.
This broken chair should be fixed. - This broken chair needs to be repaired.

I have found there only a broken vase... - I found only a broken vase there.

Please note: the translation depends on the noun followed by the participle.

The past participle from intransitive verbs, which denotes a transition to a new state, corresponds to an adjective or a real participle in Russian.

There were a lot of faded leaves in the garden. - There were many withered leaves in the garden.

I have seen a fallen star yesterday. - Yesterday I saw a falling star.
Circumstances. In this case, the previous participle is preceded by the conjunctions while, when, asif, if, asthough, though, etc. When translated into Russian, these constructions are included in the adverbial clause:
- Time.
  When mislaid she decided not to answer their questions. “When she was misled, she decided not to answer their questions.
- Conditions.
  It was a huge secret which, if over heard, could turn a big trouble for them. “It was a terrible secret, and if they overheard it, it would turn into a big problem for them.
- Comparisons.
  As if torn with indecision, he was moving to and fro. “He walked back and forth as if he was tormented by doubts.
- Concessions.
  Her documents, though lost, were still somewhere in the building. “Although her documents were lost, they were still somewhere in the building.
Predictable. In this syntactic role, the past participle is often part of a complex verbal predicate.
He was given a chance to improve everything. - He was given a chance to fix everything.

The puppy was sold for five dollars. - The puppy was sold for $ 5.
Part of a tricky add-on.
I have seen her spoken, she can persuade people. - I saw her talking, she can convince people.

Past Participle is required to create temporary forms Present and Past Perfect (both "regular" and long-term).

I have done my work already. - I've already done my job. (Present Perfect)

He had asked me a lot of questions till you came. “He asked me many questions before you came. (Past Perfect)

She has been refusing the offers. - She refused offers. (Present Perfect Continuous)

They had been sitting there since very morning. - They have been sitting there since the morning. (Past Perfect Continuous)

Form options

Past Indefinite can have several forms, as shown in the table of irregular verbs of the English language.

abide (to observe)	abode, abided	abided
be (to be)	was, were	been
awake (to wake up)	awoke, awakened	awoken
spring (jump up)	sprang, sprung	sprung
forbid	forbade, forbad	forbidden

This means that if you need to use the form of the past indefinite tense, you can choose any. However, in the case of the verb to be, was, we tend to use the singular for the subject, and were in the plural. But this rule is not strict, since there are types of sentences in which were comes after the singular pronoun. (I wish you were here.)

There are also times when the Past Participle has several forms.

get (get, get)	got	got, gotten
mow (to mow)	mowed	mown, mowed
hide (hide)	hid	hidden, hid
hew (to chop)	hewed	hewn, hewed
show	showed	shown, showed

There are also such irregular verbs, which have several variants of the second and third forms.

beseech (to beg)	besought, beseeched	besought, beseeched
dwell (live)	dwelt, dwelled	dwelt, dwelled
learn	learnt, learned	learnt, learned
burn	burnt, burned	burnt, burned
spell (to pronounce)	spelt, spelled	spelt, spelled

Please note: the second variant of the forms corresponds to the formation of regular verbs (V –ed).

Some irregular verbs in all three forms look exactly the same, although they can be pronounced differently (as is the case with “read”).

Of course, it is impossible to remember everything at once, so it is recommended to start first learning the basic irregular verbs of the English language, which are used most often and express such basic actions as - go (go), sleep (sleep), read (read), speak (speak, tell ), drink (drink), eat (eat), etc.
