What is the difference between a regular verb and a irregular verb?

A regular verb is any verb whose conjugation follows the typical pattern, or one of the typical patterns, of the language to which it belongs. A verb whose conjugation follows a different pattern is called an irregular verb.

What is the purpose of verb tenses?

We select and use verb tenses not only to indicate time but also for other specific purposes: to explain (exposition) to report or narrate a story (narration) to describe a situation, thing or person (description)

How do you explain verb tenses?

What is past tense and its examples?

The past tense is a verb tense used for a past activity or a past state of being. For example: I jumped in the lake. (This is a past activity.) I was happy.
