Example of Regular Verbs in English

Regular verbs in English are all the verbs that form the past and past participle by adding the particle –ed to the simple form of the verb.

When a regular verb ends in “y” and is preceded by a consonant letter, the y is changed to i, and if the particle –ed is added:

Cry (cry, scream) - cried - cried

Copy - copied - copied

Hurry (hurry) - hurried - hurried

When the verb ends in “y” preceded by a vowel sound, it is preserved and only the ending –ed is added:

Play (play, play an instrument) - played - played

Pray (pray, pray) - prayed - prayed

Destroy (destroy, break) - destroyed - destroyed

For verbs ending in "e", only the letter –d is added:

Describe (describe) - described - described

Live - lived - lived

Observe (observe) - observed - observed

When a verb ending in a consonant has a sharp sound, the final consonant is doubled and the ending -ed is added:

Admit - admitted - admitted

Ban (forbid) - banned - banned

Pedal (pedal) - pedalled - pedalled
